RedditALBERT SHANKER'S UFT
New Haven, Conn.
I was as surprised to see myself keening for a "big tent" liberalism in Thomas J. Sugrue's "Albert Shanker Blows Up the World" [Nov. 12] as I imagine Sugrue was to see me holding forth elsewhere in the same issue of The Nation. And he may be more surprised by my review of Richard Kahlenberg's Shanker biography in the "big tent" Democracy Journal (www.democracyjournal.com) in December. I fault Shanker much as Sugrue does, especially on foreign policy, although Clay Risen, Democracy Journal's managing editor, notes that Sugrue's Shanker seems to have slept more easily with his blunders than my Shanker did.
