As a former student of Sarris' at Columbia I am glad to see this small piece of recognition. He claims he's lost some of his fight and he says he's not as angry as he used to be but "he's still king of the mountain." Nice to see some love out there for him the blogosphere. And on one my favorites to boot. Keep up the good work.
