The first paragraph, second sentence, doesn't read well. Someone whould fix it.

Added a bit at the bottom about the revival of Beard's foreign policy ideas among paleocons and Prof. Bacevich. Interesting how his reputation, at low ebb for almost 60 years, has risen(a little)since the end of the Cold War. DubeauxBeau MartinDubeaux

[edit] Ruskin College

The Ruskin names can be confusing. I changed the reference from Ruskin House (which is London and which Beard was not formally involved) to Ruskin College which is in Oxford. I also changed the collaborator from John Ruskin to Walter Vrooman. Ruskin was never involved with the institutions that bore his name. I hope to post an article on Vrooman this weekend (among his accomplishments were getting the first playgrounds in NYC!). Americasroof 18:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
