Rooney Redux


Jacques Barzun and Henry Graff wrote one called The Modern Researcher and that’s a good reference book. Jacques Barzun may have written more books than I’ve read and he may be the smartest person who ever lived - certainly the smartest person I’ve ever known personally. Jacques just had his 100th birthday.
