I would suspect that using short quotations that appear on the book jacket
wouldn't be a problem, especially on this listserv -- but then I am not a
copyright attorney, thank god.

Evan,
You're correct. We're not supposed to use quotations from reviewers in the
synopsis. I believe the reason is related to copyright issues.

Is this a legal problem? I was under the impression that it was not
permitted to use quotations of this sort in the long synopsis.

The Professors, the 101 most dangerous Academics in America by David
Horowitz.
Below are the lauditory reviews found in the fronnt of the book. I cut and
paisted some of these to make my long synopsis.
RAISE FOR
THE PROFESSORS
"Beware the unhinged, leftist academic when David Horowitz hits campus.
This book is a thoroughly enjoyable and useful guide to the worst of the worst
in the hallowed halls of academia."
-Laura Ingraham, host of The Laura Ingraham Show and author of the New York
Times bestseller Shut Up & Sing
"There are those who would politicize the university classroom and
transform it into an advocacy center for narrow and extreme views. If we allow
that to continue, we will undermine America's ability to lead in the century
ahead. David Horowitz is sounding a clarion call... Americans should listen."
-Representative Jerry Lewis chairman of the House Appropriations Committee
"This is the story of almost any campus in America. Parents know college
professors 'tend to be liberal' but they don't realize how truly anti-middle
class and anti-American they can be."
-Congressman Jack Kingston Sponsor of the congressional resolution for an
Academic Bill of Rights
"The Professors is a comprehensive and persuasive survey of the
contemporary university. It demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that political
extremists like Professor Ward Churchill are a common and influential presence
on college and university faculties in the United States. David Horowitz's book
should be read by every college administrator and every scholar who is
concerned about the abuse of university classrooms and the debasement of
academic standards by faculty activists."
-Candace de Russy Trustee, State University of New York
"This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about free speech in higher
education. Horowitz does a masterful job of proving how partisan activists are
masquerading as professional educators, and documenting the damage they are
doing to the American academy."
-State representative Gibson C. Armstrong Author of Pennsylvania's Academic
Freedom Resolution
1
"Articulate and fearless, David Horowitz tracks the anti-American attitudes
and professorial abuses of students that have metastasized throughout academia.
The Professors is a must-read, not only for educators and governmental policy
makers-but for every parent with high school or college-age children."
-State senator Bill Morrow Sponsor of a California Academic Bill of Rights
"David Horowitz has single-handedly done more than anyone I know to throw
light on the political abuse of our college and university classrooms by
activist professors who have been enabled to do so because of the incestuous
self-selection process for faculty recruitment and tenure. The Professors
throws a harrowing light on the decline of professional standards in our
schools and the efforts by faculty with political agendas to use their
classrooms for indoctrination rather than education."
-State representative Dennis K. Baxley
chair of the Education Council of the Florida legislature
and chief sponsor of Florida's Academic Bill of Rights
"Horowitz's book The Professors is a must read for all parents planning on
a quality education for their children."
-State senator Larry A. Mumper Sponsor of academic freedom legislation in
Ohio
"With documentation that will be hard to refute, David Horowitz describes
the betrayal of our young people by professors who are defiantly unethical and
contemptuous of academic standards. It is a form of educational malpractice. We
learn that Ward Churchill, the shame of Colorado's university system, has his
counterparts on campuses across the nation."
-John Andrews, former president of the Colorado Senate and sponsor of
Colorado legislation to implement an Academic Bill of Rights
"Academics on the Left like to pat themselves on the back for daring to
'speak truth to power.' David Horowitz's The Professors speaks some
uncomfortable truths to them-to those who run American higher education today.
They will hate this scathing critique, but will be hard- pressed to answer his
charges."
-Professors Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom Harvard University
