I keep on coming back to a line in "The Believer," where the intellectual Nazi (Curtis Zampf played by Billy Zane) talks about holding conferences where he invites Chomsky to "build bridges to the mainstream."
I keep coming back to that Spinal Tap line about "working on a sex farm" and "plowing through your bean field" and "pokin' your hay" and assuming that Epstein showed the aforementioned farm to Chomsky, who nodded along and said "yeah, this is normal and good." (But like, in a long-winded academic way.)
