No, I don't think they are a problem on the listserv, but they are a problem in
the long synopsis. He did say that he cut and pasted some of them to make the
long synopsis. They will have to be deleted before the book is added to the
collection. I use dust jacket info all the time to make my long synopses, but
not quotes from people in praise of the book. I did forget and left a couple
in once in my second submission, but that book had some other problems and I
just submitted another version that is now on Step One, so that will be
rectified shortly I hope.

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
