TokyoTom, Harold Bloom, the literature professor and literary critic, and Allan Bloom, author of The Closing of the American Mind among other books, are not the same person. And death has supervened in the latter’s case btw.

Thanks for posting this. His quote about one-third oligarchy, one-third plutocracy, one-third theocracy is a good measure of the current Republican presidential candidates as well.
