Despite the success of the books, he says, he found himself unable to ascend the academic ladder, and he concluded that he was being discriminated against because of his race and his gender. In 1977, he wrote a poem called “The Death of the White Male,” which he distributed as a pamphlet fourteen years later. The poem, which was originally conceived as a plea for help to President Carter, is part manifesto and part job application:
I am the smallest

Savage says that over the years his political orientation never really changed, but he hasn’t always identified with conservatism. He says that his difficulties in academia left him feeling “alienated from society,” and helped nudge him out of the liberal orbit. Sather Tower, the main landmark of U.C. Berkeley, is visible from his house, and he is amused by the idea that one lousy tenure-track job might have been enough to prevent him from becoming a radio star. “Had I been given a teaching position, would I have voted for Obama in the last election? I don’t know,” he said. He thought about it. “That’s an interesting question.” He thought some more. “The answer is no,” he said, finally.

A hovercraft plane used for disaster reconnaissance. Cell-cultured food. Drones that plant trees. Those were some of the exhibits and displays lining the halls of the Jerusalem Convention Center today as OurCrowd summit attendees milled about, exchanging handshakes, hugs and business cards in conversation peppered with English, Hebrew, Spanish and Arabic.
We bumped into Maniv Mobility’s Michael Granoff in the executive suite. “It’s the only place where I run into South Korean and Japanese investors and also my in-law’s neighbors from the German Colony,” he said.
