Talk:George Anastaplo

Chronology
It's been decades since I read The Constitutionalist's appendices. However, I believe there are some improvements to be made to this article.

According to my memory, Anastaplo answered a standard question, "Describe the fundamentals of the U.S. law and especially the U.S. Constitution". He mentioned "the [Lockean] right of revolution" in his discussion, which then prompted a committee member to ask questions about Communist Party members or communists more generally. Then Anastaplo was asked about whether he was a member of the Communist Party or any organization on the list of subversive organizations, after which he replied that the question was improper. ("Retort" is an incorrect word-choice.)

His military service as an airman should be mentioned. I believe he first attended U. of Illinois as an engineering student, then volunteered in the US Army Aircorps, where he saw action in all theaters of war and was decorated, I believe. Then he attended the University of Chicago.

He stated that he graduated at the top of his class, despite spending most of his time in the lectures and seminars of Leo Strauss.

An American should examine the appendices of The Constitutionalist for more information. Kiefer .Wolfowitz  11:04, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
