You rock! Congratulations! *throwing horns* In 2004 I referred to you in print as "the hippest historian Harvard ever produced". Sorry it took everyone else so long to clue in. :) Although I did have to laff at the supporting documentation from "Anonymous Students", three of which are from ratemyprofessor.com (easiness rating, 2.7 - tsk!). I suppose if blogs get to be quoted in news sources, what the hell! Zowie! You rock! Congratulations! *throwing horns*
