To: "H-Net Network on American communism and anticommunism" <H-HOAC@H-NET.MSU.EDU> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 3:12 PM Subject: Re: Soviet - CPUSA relationship (Schwartz) Re. "I am completely unaware of "the well established principle of intellectual life--including that of authors as well as professors that there is a difference between and academic standard and an academic mentality." I hope some one will direct me to a source for this well established principle. In any case in the previous comment there was a reference to those who "approach the [the subject] academically" as opposed to those who approach it with "practical experience." Does academically mean with an academic standard or with an academic mentality? NOT AT ALL CLEAR? In any case there are an endless number of both journalists and academics who have written brilliantly, and badly too, on historical pasts that had no practical experience with the subjects and activities of the participants. michael Wreszin
