Philip Baruth (known as "Barutti" to his paisani) is the closest thing we have to a Renaissance man. He is a talented novelist, a relentless biographer, an beloved professor, a former radio commentator, and a force to be reckoned with in the Vermont State Senate, where he uses his charm, candor, brilliance, and humor to advance causes like gun control and other important issues.

Skill OneA writer. His skill in this area is equally suited to fiction (novels such as THE X PRESIDENT and DREAM OF THE WHITE VILLAGE) and nonfiction (SENATOR LEAHY: A LIFE IN SCENES).
|
Skill TwoAn educator. His classes at the University of Vermont are filled with humor, intelligence, and students learning with joy, not pain.
|
Skill ThreeA politician (that label seems too negative; perhaps we should we say "diplomat.")
