Dr. Paul Gottfried on whether he would do it all over again:

For the record, I would not choose an academic career a second time if I were forty years younger. I discouraged every one of my five children from pursuing such an abhorrent, thankless existence, and I suspect my girlfriend who broke up with me in 1963, when I accepted a fellowship to Yale rather than attending NYU Law School, made a sensible decision. Fortunately for me, the women who married me were less sensible. Like Leon, who is a friend of many years, I have profound contempt for most academics I have encountered, and particularly in the social sciences and humanities.
