V.U.W. Traditions

V.U.W. Traditions

Sir

Les Slater (Salient, March 7) advises solemnly that my book Everyone wants to be fuehrer is written "in the best tradition of VUW social science value-neutrality-and-all-that-crap". I wasn't aware that there was such a tradition and if there is I'm damn certain I don't write in it. Slater's review provides grounds for the view that he writes in a much older tradition: VUW crap. I haven't missed it.

David Harcourt.

PS. Everyone wants to be fuehrer is $3.95 in Australia and $4.65 in New Zealand, despite having been supplied to Alister Taylor at a cut rate so that he could keep his retail price down. The more things change, the more they are the same.
