TradCatKnight Radio, Sir Charles Coulombe "Monarchy vs. Democracy"
Talk given 7-8-16 (aprx 1 hr)
Charles A. Coulombe the prolific writer/historian was born in Manhattan on the day JFK was elected –
November 8, 1960. His parents were actors, and six years later the
family moved to Hollywood, California, taking up residence in an
apartment building owned by Criswell, the then famed television psychic.
Depending upon their financial fortunes, Coulombe went to a mixture of
private and public schools in the Los Angeles area, attending college at
New Mexico Military Institute and Cal State-Northridge. Spending three
years on the Sunset strip as a standup comic, his first book,
Everyman Today Call Rome
appeared in 1986. The succeeding three decades have been spent writing
books and articles, lecturing, and – in recent years – dealing with the
internet. He has debated before the Oxford Union, spoken at universities
across the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand –
and on one memorable occasion in 1999, was trapped with his audience in
the former Royal Palace in Bucharest by Papal security.
