According to Christopher Lehmann-Haupt in the New York Times, Noam Chomsky \u00e2\u20ac\u0153continues to challenge our assumptions long after other critics have gone to bed. He has become the foremost gadfly of our national conscience.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d New Statesman correspondent Francis Hope praised Chomsky for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a proud defensive independence, a good plain writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hatred of expert mystification, a doctrine of resistance which runs against the melioristic and participatory current of most contemporary intellectual life.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hope concludes: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Such men are dangerous; the lack of them is disastrous.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, between 1980 and 1992 Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any living scholar, and the eighth most cited source overall. He is a professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and revolutionized the field of linguistics. <\/p>\n<p>He spoke at MIT on September 21st 2006 about the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153four current crises in the Middle East.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Here is professor Noam Chomsky.
