Chi Trib has a Mearsheimer story — about his and a Harvard man’s paper on the “Israel lobby” as deciding our foreign policy — on its site. It’s by AP and is dated today. It’s not in today’s hard copy as far as I can tell, but maybe tomorrow. Nothing by any Trib reporter yet, however — and Mearsheimer a U. of Chi prof of some notoriety. Among critics of M. is Alan Dershowitz, also of Harvard, who calls the paper “David Duke with footnotes” — Duke praises it — and has posted his rebuttal on the Kennedy School of Govt. site, which has the Mearsheimer paper too. Sun-Times editorialized about the paper a week or so ago — or am I imagining things? It’s not on the S-T site now. Is this the usual dynamic local coverage that Trib is noted for? Maybe.
