The late #JamesScott was a complicated man (like Shaft), with youthful embrace of US intelligence agencies that I & others document. I corresponded with him on this, but I can't say I fully understand. I wouldn't reduce him to these youthful engagements, but find puzzling. #CIA

@LalehKhalili Am late to the party, but just posted this on Scott and the CIA...

Link below to my long review essay on Patrick Schmidt's history of Harvard's Dept of Social Relations. But this Haiku summary can save you the trouble of reading my 7,000 word essay:

Harvard men vainly

I think that I shall never see
An FBI who doesn't spy on thee

A rogue bureau with hunger pressed
To invade the privacy of those who protest
