In this rare face-to-face post 9-11 interview, the poet Allen Bell talks to the renowned linguist and political theorist Noam Chomsky in his office at MIT. What emerges is a remarkably detailed and concise entrée into Noam Chomsky's social and political thought (including Iraq and 9-11 ), and also into what he has had to endure on the personal level.  The question-and-answer interaction is exceedingly interesting, though admittedly somewhat startling and disturbing.

Chomsky . . . an unlikely hero -- a linguistics professor who stands like Horatio at the bridge against sophistry and deceit.
