I took many tiresome classes in accounting, economics and organizational behavior. When it came time to pick an elective, I chose American History with this guy, Zinn, whom everybody said was a pistol. It turned out to be an amazing course, all the more so because the president of the University, John Silber, made no secret of wanting to fire Zinn, and Zinn, in turn, made no secret about calling Silber out for what he was, a profit-oriented capitalist with a big ego and little interest in things academic. Zinn walked us through his People's History of the U.S., showing us that you could be awake and aware to the terrible inequities around us and still have humor and grace.
