Poor Mr. Churchill

The Chronicle: Daily news: 09/12/2005 -- 02: "Mr. Churchill said he had published more than 4,000 pages of scholarship and argued that examining the work of any scholar with a similarly extensive publication record would produce 'a half-dozen paragraphs, half-dozen footnotes that you can build some kind of a case on, if that's your object.'

He compared his position to that of Al Capone, who was ultimately sent to Alcatraz for income-tax evasion, and mimicked the university as saying, 'We don't care what we get him on, we'll get him on anything.'"

------------------------
So he publicly states that the rest of us are sloppy scholars (I'm trying to be civil here) . . . . Even those of us without numerous assistants/graduate students know better than this.
