The quote from the amazon.com editorial review read:
 
         European white dead  men
 
and I threw Grice into the bargain, but I see he would *never* identify as

Apparently it all started, but with another 'sense' with Mugawe saying, The  
only good white man is the dead white man".

Wow. This is getting interesting. I see that all  the authors in Loeb are 
'dead white man', except, perhaps Scipio the  Africanus.
