Harvey Mansfield on C-SPAN 2 at Noon today

Harvard University government professor Harvey Mansfield is the subject of a 3 hour In-Depth Program today on C-SPAN 2 starting at Noon Eastern.

Mansfield's books on Edmund Burke, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Alexis de Tocqueville are considered classics.

Many of his former students, Bill Kristol among them, regard Mansfield as the greatest teacher they met at Harvard.

If you're interested in endangered species, this is your chance to see and hear a political conservative who survives at Harvard despite constant exposure to its rigid Leftism.

One blogger said of Mansfield: "He's flourished in an environment where even a once- hardy creature like Laurence Summers is threatened with extinction"

C-SPAN 2 starting at Noon Eastern today.
