Because he's good at publicity, many are aware of David Horowitz' Damascine conversion from red-diaper baby to conservative gadfly, but this morning's Insight has an interview with Ronald Radosh, a formerly leftist historian who has seen the light as a result of his experiences and research (including his book on the Rosenbergs).

Good for a read, particularly his description of the radicalization of academia, most particularly in the English and History departments--a situation with which many parents are too unaware as they send their kids off to college for their political reeducation/indoctrination.

He also mentions what a hive of leftists the historical societies have become, particularly pertinent in the situation with Michael Bellesiles shoddy (and probably biased), if not outright fraudulent scholarship on gun usage in America.
