"I still live"
Orrin Judd (who told Instapundit about it) found this article by Hank Parnell, "The Rehabilitation of Edgar Rice Burroughs." I had no idea he needed any. Having been exposed to "Tarzan of the Apes" at a relatively early age, and having unconsciously absorbed the consistency of Burroughs' world view, I find that Parnell's article rings true. If you've never read Burroughs, he might let you know what you've been missing.

Or, heck, just go read some! If the only Tarzan you know is Disney's (or Johnny Weismuller), you don't know Tarzan. A real treat awaits you. (Better get both "Tarzan of the Apes" and "The Return of Tarzan". You won't believe where the first book ends.)
