  Meet Paul Johnson
Paul’s impressive surf music credentials actually predate the Surfaris— in fact, he was (along with Dick Dale) one of the genre’s principal founders and pioneers.
In these and all his other many projects, Paul’s MO is to keep on breaking new ground with further innovations that continue to give new life to the music.
Paul also hosts one of the most colorful personal websites on the internet today; it’s an extraordinary surf-instro excursion, filled with history, photos and free audio-streaming of over 100 of his recordings from every period.

 The Modern Library | Authors
Johnson eventually leads the way into a small study, a closet really, where he produced these books, along with his new epic, the 1,100-page ''A History of the American People,'' which was released in the United States two weeks ago and is also expected to become a best seller.
Rousseau, Johnson writes, ''liked to be spanked on his bare bottom.'' Marx seldom bathed and ''took very little exercise, ate highly spiced food, often in large quantities, smoked heavily, drank a lot.'' Johnson's intellectuals, then, are men on the left who behaved badly.
Johnson also shares another trait of the intelligentsia: a tendency to be dazzled by fame and power.

 Paul Johnson (journalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Johnson (born Paul Bede Johnson on November 2, 1928 in Manchester, England) is a British Roman Catholic historian, journalist, speechwriter and author.
Johnson became a liberal during this period as he witnessed, in May 1952, the police response to a riot in Paris, the "ferocity [of which] I would not have believed had I not seen it with my own eyes." Subsequently, he also served as the New Statesman's Paris correspondent.
Johnson is a critic of modernity because of what he sees as its moral shortcomings.

 Historian Paul Johnson on American Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)

 Paul Johnson's America by Hadley Arkes
Johnson also brings to this project the tastes of a man anchored in the world, among them a taste for facts, even more precise, on the structure of things: on the way buildings were built, on the number of railroads, on the manner in which people made their livings.
Johnson is disposed, on the whole, to take a rather benign view of those buccaneers in business who have been stamped as “robber barons.” Men such as Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Harriman left school in their teens and made their ascent not by energy alone but through sound judgment and no small measure of genius.
Johnson recognizes the language of natural rights, and he attaches a real significance to the claims of “natural justice.” But he tends also to put it aside, as though it were not really central to the story he was telling.

While Johnson harshly critiqued the dark side of these intellectuals, he also presented them in the proper historical context and gave due to the epochal importance of their work where it was appropriate.
Johnson argues that while people have complained about Priests in the past trying to command the common run of humanity with an authority which is not legitimate, he argues the same argument can be made against intellectuals and their 'insights' into humanity.
Johnson's conclusion is given the moral weaknesses of these men, as well as the destruction and pain their ideas have caused to humanity (this criticism he especially has towards Marx and his followers), we should not listen to their pronouncements and ignore them.

Johnson's animated illustrations are wonderfully expressive and filled with zany animal antics, making them a perfect complement to the slapstick humor of the story.

 Paul Johnson's Estimated Runs Produced
Last fall I received a letter from an Illinois man named Paul Johnson who claimed that he had developed a very simple method of evaluating run production that was more accurate than runs created.
I'm not certain that Paul's "Estimated Runs Produced" method is more accurate than runs created—we'll get into that at the conclusion of the piece—but I am convinced that it is an extraordinarily good method.
The first thing that I did to try to verify Paul's method was to run his formula on the 1984 season, the statistics of which were not even available at the time that he wrote the letter.
