Only problem is they are conservative...


Born in Philadelphia in 1936, Walter E. Williams holds a bachelor's degree
in economics from California State University (1965) and a master's degree
(1967) and doctorate (1972) in economics from the University of California
at Los Angeles.

In 1980, he joined the faculty of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.,
and is currently the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics. He
has also served on the faculties of Los Angeles City College (1967-69),
California State University (1967-1971) and Temple University (1973-1980).
From 1963 to 1967, he was a group supervisor of juvenile delinquents for
the Los Angeles County Probation Department.

More than 50 of his publications have appeared in scholarly journals such
as Economic Inquiry, American Economic Review and Social Science Quarterly
and popular publications such as Reader's Digest, The Wall Street Journal
and Newsweek. He has made many TV and radio appearances on such programs
as Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose," William F. Buckley's "Firing Line,"
"Face The Nation," "Nightline" and "Crossfire."

He is also the author of several books. Among these are The State Against
Blacks, later made into a television documentary, America: A Minority
Viewpoint, All It Takes Is Guts, and South Africa's War On Capitalism.

In 1981, he began writing his weekly column called "A Minority View" for
Heritage Features Syndicate. And in 1991, he joined Creators Syndicate as
part of its friendly takeover of Heritage Features.

Williams sits on many advisory boards, including the Review Board of
Economics Studies for the National Science Foundation, the Research
Foundation, the National Tax Limitation Committee, the Taxpayer's
Foundation and the Hoover Institution.

The awards and honors Williams have received are many. These include the
National Fellow at the Hoover Institute of War, Revolution, and Peace; the
Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship; the National Service Award from
the Institute for Socioeconomic Studies; and the George Washington Medal
of Honor from the Valley Forge Freedom Foundation. In 1984-1985, he
received the Faculty Member of the Year Award from the George Mason
University Alumni. He is also a member of the American Economic
Association, the Mont Pelerin Society and is a Distinguished Scholar of
the Heritage Foundation.

Williams participates in many debates and conferences, is a frequent
public speaker and often gives testimony before both houses of Congress.


and last but not least...

Thomas Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem. As with
many others in his neighborhood, he left home early and did not finish
high school. The next few years were difficult ones, but eventually he
joined the Marine Corps and became a photographer in the Korean War. After
leaving the service, Sowell entered Harvard University, worked a part-time
job as a photographer and studied the science that would become his
passion and profession: economics.

After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1958), he went
on to receive his master's in economics from Columbia University (1959)
and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago (1968).

In the early '60s, Sowell held jobs as an economist with the Department of
Labor and AT&T. But his real interest was in teaching and scholarship. In
1965, at Cornell University, he began the first of many professorships.
His other teaching assignments include Rutgers University, Amherst
University, Brandeis University and the University of California at Los
Angeles, where he taught in the early '70s and also from 1984 to 1989.

Sowell has published a large volume of writing. His dozen books, as well
as numerous articles and essays, cover a wide range of topics, from
classic economic theory to judicial activism, from civil rights to
choosing the right college. Moreover, much of his writing is considered
ground-breaking -- work that will outlive the great majority of
scholarship done today.

Though Sowell had been a regular contributor to newspapers in the late
'70s and early '80s, he did not begin his career as a newspaper columnist
until 1984. George F. Will's writing, says Sowell, proved to him that
someone could say something of substance in so short a space (750 words).
And besides, writing for the general public enables him to address the
heart of issues without the smoke and mirrors that so often accompany
academic writing.

In 1990, he won the prestigious Francis Boyer Award, presented by The
American Enterprise Institute.

Currently Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute in Stanford,
Calif.

Frankly, I see no difference between alt.kooks posters and the Seven
Schitts.
