You confuse humor with petulant childishness. Don't do that again.

I believe he earned a double major in math and economics.  Apparently, he scored very high marks in all of his classes.  It did take him awhile, however, to finish his doctorate. 

Yeah, the guy over seeing it whilst he was there.. ended up leaving and Rothbard's doctorate was accepted when the guy left - to be chairman of the Federal Reserve. </gist>

Why so serious?

Oh, so the thesis advisor delayed Rothbard?  Not Dorfman, right? Anyway, these kinds of events can severely disrupt a student's PhD process.

Rothbard was also involved in the making of the first nuclear bomb.

the government stole it from him, and then made a second-rate copy.  rothbard's nuke would only harm socialists.
