Amplifying a learned article that he published in 1995, Thiede has marshaled his arguments in a new book called Eyewitness to Jesus (Doubleday; 206 pages; $23.95), written with Matthew d'Ancona, a deputy editor and political columnist at London's Sunday Telegraph. As evidence of the fragments' early origins, Thiede notes that the handwriting on the Magdalen Papyrus is in a style known as uncial, which began to die out in the middle of the 1st century.

Another classmate took the exploitation of Ted to another level: David Nyhan '62, a columnist for the Boston Globe, had the gall to boast of his affinity in a piece called "Old Classmate Resurfaces." He writes, "I didn't know him, I merely and vaguely remember seeing him around 30-plus years ago." Tell us more, Dave, please tell us more. Like how you don't remember having a conversation with him.

They Only Look Dead: Why Progressives Will Dominate the Next Political Era (Simon & Schuster, 352 pages, $24) argues that the Gingrich phase of American politics is neither conservative nor revolutionary but instead reactionary, harking back to the Big Business Republicanism of the late 19th century. Gingrich is only the latest in a line of Republicans stretching back to Barry Goldwater who have attacked government as the cause of the country's problems. Dismantling government, they promise, will improve...
