Entry: Wolfe's Howl Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/wolfes_folly#2102 Post contents: More than 30 years ago, I drove my teacher, Russell Kirk, from Hillsdale College to his home in Mecosta. He showed me a nut letter responding to one of his columns. Typed badly, rich in multi-colored ballpoint marginalia, it was a classic of its kind. The writer said that he had always admired Kirk’s writing but that there was one important issue unaddressed in his oeuvre, namely “the international conspiracy of Jewish bankers.” He asked if Kirk was somehow “unaware of this conspiracy – OR PART OF IT?” The last line was underlined at least a dozen times, in perhaps four colors of ballpoint ink. I asked Dr Kirk how he would respond: “I-I-I-I already did,” he stammered. “And I told them I had studied this issue for years, and I have categorical proof that it is all a front for the Jesuits.” He chuckled, eyes twinkling, and added: “B-b-b-by the time that he works that out, w-w-w-we shall all be long dead.” Dr Kirk an anti-Semite?
