36. Joseph Epstein has a history of this sort of thing

In the seventies he wrote a homophobic article that may or may not have been an endorsement of eugenics. His career survived that, but this time may be different.

As a wise man, who I did not just invent to enbiggen my argument once said, "It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

Epstein, if you ever read this, as an author you might well understand that more than a few of us are reading between the lines and what we are reading is an embarrassing and comical character reveal.
