They have achieved national and international acclaim fortheir scholarship and hold or held prestigious positions at some of the best schools in the United States and abroad. These six contributors came together on October 24, 2003 at AntiochCollege as representatives of the post-World War II period when Antioch was a nebula that fashioned intellectual, cultural, and political stars.
