Norman Jay Levitt was the author's good friend, collaborator, and co-author. He was--above, before, and after politics--an honest inquirer. His socio-cultural views evolved continuously. Levitt, truth-seeker and liberal, was impatient with, and a devastating critic of, the political correctness and--even worse--the philosophic triviality that seemed to have overcome the academic Left and indeed much of the academy post-Vietnam. In this tribute, the author lauds the intellectual energy of the man with whom he co-authored the seminal expose of the infestation of science by political correctness: "Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science."
