Context: The Latke–Hamantash Debate is a deliberately humorous academic debate about the relative merits and meanings of these two items of Jewish cuisine.  The debate originated at the University of Chicago in 1946 and has since been held annually.  Subsequent debates have taken place at several other universities.  Participants in the debate, held within the format of a symposium, have included past University of Chicago president Hanna Holborn Gray, philosopher Martha Nussbaum, former Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Austan Goolsbee, Nobel Prize winners Milton Friedman, George Stigler, Leon M. Lederman, and essayist Allan Bloom.  A compendium of the debate, which has never been won, was published in 2005. Shakespeare's Politics is a 1964 book co-authored by Allan Bloom and Harry V. Jaffa.  The authors provide an analysis of four Shakespeare plays guided by the premise that political philosophy provides a necessary perspective on the problems of Shakespeare’s heroes.  Its methods and interpretations were significantly influenced by Leo Strauss, who taught Jaffa at the New School for Social Research and Bloom at the University of Chicago, and to whom the book is dedicated.

It stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver. Bridget Jones is a franchise based on a fictional character of the same name.  British writer Helen Fielding started her "Bridget Jones's Diary" column in "The Independent" in 1995, while chronicling the life of Jones as a thirtysomething single woman in London as she tries to make sense of life and love with the help of a surrogate "urban family" of friends in the 1990s.  The column lampooned the obsession of women with women's magazines such as "Cosmopolitan" and wider social trends in Britain at the time.  Fielding published the novelisation of the column in 1996, followed by a sequel in 1999 called "". Allan David Bloom (September 14, 1930 – October 7, 1992) was an American philosopher, classicist, and academician.  He studied under David Grene, Leo Strauss, Richard McKeon, and Alexandre Kojève.  He subsequently taught at Cornell University, the University of Toronto, Yale University, École Normale Supérieure of Paris, and the University of Chicago.  Bloom championed the idea of Great Books education and became famous for his criticism of contemporary American higher education, with his views being expressed in his bestselling 1987 book, "The Closing of the American Mind".  Characterized as a conservative in the popular media, Bloom denied that he was a conservative, and asserted that what he sought to defend was the 'theoretical life'.  Saul Bellow wrote "Ravelstein", a roman à clef based on Bloom, his friend and colleague at the University of Chicago. The Closing of the American Mind is a 1987 book by the philosopher Allan Bloom, in which the author argued that "higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today's students."  He focused especially upon the "openness" of relativism as leading paradoxically to the great "closing" referenced in the book's title.  In Bloom's view, "openness" and absolute understanding undermine critical thinking and eliminate the "point of view" that defines cultures.  Bloom's book became an unexpected best seller, eventually selling close to half a million copies in hardback, but drew divided reactions from reviewers. Ernest L. Fortin, A.A. (December 17, 1923 – October 22, 2002) was a professor of theology at Boston College.  While engaged in graduate studies in France, he met Allan Bloom, who introduced him to the work of Leo Strauss.  Father Fortin worked at the intersection of Athens and Jerusalem.
