Clarification: Playboy sought out Kaye, not vice versa
Prof. Harvey Kaye of SCD has clarified for The Log, regarding yesterday’s news item, that while he does have his computer set for an alert whenever there’s a published reference to Thomas Paine, his letter that appeared in the “Dear Playboy” section of a recent Playboy magazine was submitted at the invitation of the magazine. The editors, aware of Kaye’s expertise on Paine, invited him to comment on media personality Glenn Beck’s embrace of Paine’s legacy. Not sure what we’re talking about but you saw “Playboy” in the headline here and had to stop for a look?
