His angry explanation: "Practically everything I earn is taxed around 100%. It is all my life's work that is being stolen."

Wilder is a man of incredible learning in many subjects (such as the dating of Cope de Vega's early works, or Palestrina's technique of counterpoint), a master of classroom teaching, and a former professor at the University of Chicago and Harvard. But mention his name to scholars...
