Re: Odds & Ends: From Chicago (none / 1)
This problem in the US was discussed in Hofstadter's "Anti-intllectualism in American life" back in the 60s. Since then the Republicans have used the "elitism" theme to attack liberals in general - while giving massive funding to right-wing think tanks (see Krugman's "The Conscience of a Liberal")

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
