“Judged in terms of the power, range, novelty, and influence of his thought, Noam Chomsky is arguably the most important intellectual alive.”—The New York Times

“On the one hand we have the established media, the respectable community of foreign affairs analysts, the government—and on the other, Noam Chomsky.”—Nation

“For Chomsky, the ‘official doctrine’ ... of military intervention to safeguard human rights is as much a sham as the ‘New World Order’ trumpeted during the Gulf War.”—Guardian

“A 20th-century Rousseau.”—The Boston Globe
