Tonight’s guests are Professor Noam Chomsky & William Boyer.

 

Noam Chomsky is the Institute Professor Emeritus of Liguistics at MIT.  Professor Chomsky is to modern linguistics what Freud is to modern psychology and Einstein is to modern physics.  

 

But Professor Chomsky is mostly known for his works on US foreign and domestic policies and has published over 50 books, the latest of which is Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy.

 

According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, between 1980 and 1992 Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar, and the eighth most cited scholar overall.

 

Chomsky was voted the leading living public intellectual in The 2005 Global Intellectuals Poll conducted by the British magazine Prospect.

 

William Boyer was the Charles Polk Messick Professor, 1969-93, and Chairperson, Department of Political Science and International Relations, 1969-74, University of Delaware.  Now retired Professor Boyer has authored six books and over 60 articles. 

 

Professor Boyer’s most recent work in print is Governing Delaware Policy Problems in the First State.  Professor Boyer has been a visiting lecturer in many nations and worked in the Public Affairs section of the US embassy in Vienna.
