Cleaned up the page---the guy is not *that* important and there are a lot of loaded irrelevancies here; corrected a typo; and added the T.B. Davie Lecture, which is on the web.verify 04:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)Verify

Politics? Efforts to characterize politics in article "Alan Charles Kors" violate the spirit of biographies of living persons in Wikipedia. If you've got something against this guy, take it private; this is not the place. Broadman (talk) 22:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Broadman (talk) 21:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Broadman[reply]

Heterodox? The word "heterodox" is not Kors's term, but standard English, and the comment accompanying the change is both uninformed and bizarrely personal. The Wikipedia article "Heterodoxy" gives "heterodox" as its adjective in the first paragraph. For a full listing of the widespread and standard use of "heterodox," long before Kors's book, see any dictionary, or, to find it all together, see http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2004/04/28.html. Again, if you've got something against this guy, Wikipedia is not the place to do it.Broadman (talk)Broadman —Preceding undated comment added 06:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]
