Education

B.A. Yale University, English

J.D. Columbia Law School

M.A. Hillsdale College, Politics

“The atmosphere at Hillsdale is very different from the atmosphere that prevails at many, if not most, college campuses today. There is peace here. An ethos of mutual respect and decency predominates. I very much appreciate the high caliber of my classmates and professors and their love of rigorous thinking and debate on so many issues. As with most worthwhile endeavors in life, hard work is required here, too; but great growth in learning and friendships is the happy result.”
