No, she's not. She's an angry loon, like Krugman's become. Its a damn shame as to Krugman. He was once interesting as hell and had great insights. Now, he's a raving partisan who's more politics than economics.
I think Sontag should have ink space, just not center stage alone. She's so completely out of touch and impossibly naive that reading her without an a counterpoint leaves you frustrated. Its like listening to Limbaugh, but I hold the Times to a slightly higher standard than the company which carries Limbaugh. Its technically the "paper of record" in the country, like it or not. Its hould not be handing out five pages of prime space for a clueless professor to prattle on.
