"John Leo" is a writer and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research/Manhattan Institute. He edits [http://www.mindingthecampus.com/ Minding the Campus], the Institute's web site on America's universities, and is a contributing editor of City Journal (New York)/City Journal. He is also a Visitor of Ralston College, a start-up liberal arts college in Savannah, Georgia/Savannah.

From 1988 to 2006 his weekly column for U.S. News & World Report was syndicated to 140 newspapers by Universal Press Syndicate. The column focused mainly on social and cultural issues, most commonly political correctness, but also advertising, movies, language, the news media, education, pop psychology and the self-esteem movement. His 1995 column on Time-Warner, terming it America's "leading cultural polluter", sparked the campaign that led to Time-Warner's decision to sell off its 50 percent share in Interscope Records, a heavy producer of gangsta rap.
