impressed me primarily by his ability to promote things of dubious merit and, in the case of this cobbled together, gerrymandered-looking structure,
he seems more overtly suspect.
Yes, this is all opinion and that is why Mr. Lewis' patina as a determiner of cultural tastes is not trustworthy. Blair Kamin was way better at presenting a
balanced analysis (Not that he was perfect) and that comparison alone leaves Mr. Lewis looking like a manipulative salesman.

Does your nose bleed all the way up there in your ivory tower? It must have amazing views of the clouds making their slow progress.
You don't like the tower. You think that anyone that does is dim or ill-informed. Reposting the same thoughts again and again with more SAT words isn't helping the discourse.
