Sleep Tight

Good night,
Sleep tight,
Don't let the bedbugs bite.

I always enjoyed that little rhyme. I remember asking my mother what bedbugs were, and she told me how they used to be a problem but weren't anymore.

They're baaack. And they're hard to get rid of.

Apparently we partly got rid of them with DDT. But then we got rid of DDT.

They're making a particular resurgence in New York.

If you have leftover DDT,
Sell it now in NYC.

Here are a couple of negative reviews. Both reviewers, at the time of their review, were associated with TOC. Lennox now is not, and I'm not sure about Ross. I don't know of a detailed review of Sciabarra's book by someone associated with ARI, but they generally are not supportive of his efforts. Chris, of course, responded to both of the following reviews.

I believe Lennox, who is at the University of Pittsburgh, is still interested in Objectivism, but I don't think he is involved with ARI. It has been many years since I talked with him.
