An anon editor removed the quote from William F. Buckley to the effect that being the most prominent Socialist is America is akin to being "the tallest building in Topeka Kansas." I found this kind of an endearing quote and am inclined to restore it. Any discussion? TMS63112 16:45, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
-Was he ever a congressman? I have someone working in a U.S. congressman's office called Michael Harrington. --Rayc 02:53, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
There needs to be a disambiguation page for "Michael Harrington." In addition to this guy, and the Massachusetts politician, there is also a pro soccer player for Kansas City.
[edit] Political Qualifications
The article only mentioned his qualification in English Literature, but did he get any political qualifications?
- My recollection is that he did not have a degree in Political Science, only in English — even though he taught poli sci. I think that is why he taught where he did instead of at a major university. Carrite (talk) 07:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Photos?
I dropped a line to the (moribund?) DSA trying to get them to come up with a few usable images of Harrington for this page and for the DSA page. So far so bad. Can anyone help? I notice his wife died fairly recently so tracking down family for photos seems a tough go, given the commonness of the name...

DSA is definitely not moribund-it has actually grown recently, especially the youth section. I attended the national convention, which was held in Evanston, Illinois (just outside of Chicago) in November. As for Harrington photos, that is a good question. I could try to hunt some down, but I am not sure that is something the organization really has. Ripeugenedebs (talk) 02:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
