[Milton-L] Milton defamation in this morning's NY Times

[Richard Durocher]

Dear colleagues,

   McGrath's misrepresentations and inaccuracies concerning biographical
facts, compounded with Kirmm's hubris and, at best, iconographic
irrelevance, lead me to support Carol Barton's and Roy Flannagan's position.

   If a sophomore student said in a biographical essay about Milton what
McGrath wrote in the New York Times, would you welcome it?   And I do like
heavy metal . . .
