We got to spend a week with him in Oxford. it was such a delight, not only did I learn many things, but the professor was fun to hang out with. I've been to many like workshops like this, and the professors would interact with you during the sessions, but little else. Not, Richard Carwardine, he ate dinner with us every night at the university and then would often go to the pub with us later! He even told us an Elizabeth Taylor story when he was a young struggling actor.

I will be getting his new book too. He is speaking TODAY about the book, through a Gilder -Lehrman (best history organization out there) link. here is info about it:

Thanks again, Mike

I should like to know the "Elizabeth Taylor story when he was a young struggling actor."

Anyone who has seen "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" has a great appreciation for Elizabeth Taylor as an actress. And, she was a people person, as well.
