Ha! That was awesome. I like how Rothbard pointed out the uselessness of saying "they've only killed thousands".

On another note,does anyone know Walter Block's email?

Here is a Chomsky-Rothbard tissy fight.

You've got to love the tasteful ad hominems that intellectuals throw around in print.

The footnote says "Walter Block, interview by author, January 27, 1999."

i haven't been able to find a transcript of the interview.

There were no footnotes, endnotes, or otherwise citations for this interaction?

I want to read the Chomsky/Rothbard letters (that I will now refer to as "The Mythical Chomsky/Rothbard Personal Correspondance")

I've heard that too,but Doherty mentions Rothbard kicking Bookchin out,not Bookchin leaving.

I thought someone said that he left the group because all of his disciples were defecting to Rothbard.

Brian Doherty,in Radicals for Capitalism, writes:

Anarcho-left theorist Murray Bookchin became an occasional visitor to the famous Rothbard living room-until Rothbard one day angrily kicked him out of the house. Noam Chomsky was a penpal for a while.

Does anyone have more information on what caused Rothbard to kick out Bookchin? What about his relationship with Chomsky?

I've also heard that while Rothbard disliked contemporary music,he didn't mind a few Beatles songs. Does anyone know what songs those were?
