What's it about? Oh, yeah: why don't you ask him to summarize _Capital_ for a 30 second soundbite for "Nightline"? Summaries of the "story" of Hegel's _Science of Logic_, Lenin's _Philosophical Notebooks_, Negri's _Marx After Marx_, and Althusser's + Balibar's _Reading Capital_ in no more than two sentences would also be appreciated. I would have thought that you would *read* _Spectres of Marx_ rather than leafing through it for 20 min. before consigning it to the dustbin of pomo trash. Where have all the intellectuals gone? Jerry
