Anyone know this guy? He graduated from Stanford in 1975, and now holds an endowed chair in History at the University of Texas.
He's become an unbelievably prolific American history writer, the quality of which books ranges from the very good to the excellent. I just finished 'American Colossus', an overview of the years 1865-1895. Balanced and centrist. I much prefer it to the Oxford history, entrusted to a Stanford professor, Richard White, and not very impressive.
I am curious what sort of impression he made way back when.

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
