He is still there. He's a journalism prof at UT Austin. He is also editor
of World Magazine (www.worldmag.com) and often writes editorials for it.
His 2000 book, Compassionate Conservatism, was cribbed by the President
(both the phrase and the ideas behind it). The Tragedy of American
Compassion, his history of 19th century charity and why it was more
effective than 20th century welfare, was made required reading by Newt
Gingrich for the 1994 freshman class of Congress.
