Political philosopher turned social critic, Professor Levine taught for many years at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and wrote widely on political philosophy, Marxism, and radical social critique. He also achieved brief popular fame (including an appearance on Johnny Carson) with his ability to speak backwards! The Wisconsin memorial notice is here. If anyone has a link to the Carson appearance, you may add a link in the comments.
