Doesn’t everyone have moral defects😂😂❤️? I am a fan of Dr. Loury and will be reading his book.

I had to think about this, I get it now. I’m looking forward to reading Dr Loury’s story.

Nice. Also very good analysis of why we like him even when we don't agree with him.

I wonder if either Corretta King or Professor Loury ever saw that episode of The Boondocks..?

"Mr. Lowry is an economics professor at Brown University" I honestly can't tell if this is an intentional slight or if it's possible to be published in the WSJ and not realize the context demands you use the title of Dr.

An intriguing start to a review, but unfortunately paywalled. Still, it does make me even more interested to read Glenn's memoir.

Interesting. I guess that means they like you but not what you have to say. That's the gateway drug. Aristotle's ethos. Eventually the things you say may begin to seem acceptable if they hear them enough.

As opposed to the WSJ Editorial Board, which is utterly flawed (aren’t we all) and occasionally likable.

The Glenn Show
“There is a sweetness and vulnerability to Mr. Loury’s search for catharsis-by-confession. He is a highly intelligent man, utterly flawed and irresistibly likable. If we judge him, it’s because he beckons us to do so, a wayward moth offering himself up to a public flame. Our verdict cannot be damning. For all his moral defects, we find ourselves admiring him for his intellectual valor and the pugnacity of his convictions.”
