Here, in the course of an article about Larry Summers and Harvard:  "[Harvard] can tenure Harvey Mansfield, the professor of government famous for his politically incorrect pronouncements, and Hilary Putnam, the philosophy professor who was handing out Progressive Labor pamphlets 35 years ago and seems not to have changed his mind on any issue since?"

What?  Is there any political, religious or philosophical issue on which Hilary Putnam has not changed his mind at least once, and probably three times, since 1970?

As a Princeton professor wrote to me yesterday:  "Probably the first time Hilary Putnam has ever been used as an example of a guy who doggedly sticks to his beliefs."
