To put the previous posters in perspective, it was the six week rumble jumble they are talking about. But...Rolston...is no pulpit preacher or disoriented lecturer. He is sharp, astute and intensely passionate about history. Very personable and to the point. I think the more he is exposed to the UCLA community, the student response is going to get much better. He does bring a legal perspective to history, which is always refreshing. So I recommend him strongly.
