Pro-Israel academic...how does he do it? Aside from the occasional extremely creepy letter including cc to entire department, things are fine. In fact, no one at the school seems to notice much. With the BU student newspaper working on a profile of his work we wait with baited-breath to see how he's treated.
About that letter...it's really creepy. This guy thinks the Tantalus Field actually exists.

As I said at Richard's I think the guy is just like those biddies in old movies. Or it even (didn't think of this at the time) makes me think of the Monty Python sketch with the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more..."
