Great, thanks for that; I'll get in touch with these people soon and send them the McCain chapter.

 Also, we've just set up an IRC for Project PM, which can be accessed at irc.freenode.net #projectpm. One of the guys, Kapaceb, is the one who's worked with me on special projects, and he'll be heading up one of our teams. Anyway, we'll have a number of people there who are active with our various tasks involving taking on certain pundits, so feel free to drop in and hang around.

Jesse Lava is a Huffington Post blogger who was somehow involved in the recent anti-Peretz protest at Harvard.  He is a fool, but yo might try sending him the Peretz chapter and trying to get him to get you officially invited to speak at Harvard.

You can also send the chapter about me to Marty Kaplan at the University of Southern California, who interviewed me in 2004 on Air America Radio, and Ernest Wilson, also at USC, who has never met me but I have spoken with him.  Wilson is head of the school of journalism and communication.  Kaplan is also involved with the media.
Time Magazine once published my letter  criticizing Krauthammer's support of Proposition 209 in California, that ended affirmative action.  I don't remember the text but someone apparently quoted it, so I suppose this is what I in fact wrote.
 
 "If Alabama had held a referendum on segregation in the 1950s or on slavery in the 1850s, wickedness would have won each time. Krauthammer calls it `democracy' when a numerically stronger group (whites) forces the numerically weaker group (Blacks) to do its will. Enlightened men call it tyranny."
