According to FECInfo at <http://www.tray.com/fecinfo/>, since 1995, he's
donated $1500 to Democratic candidates and $0 to Republicans - $1000 to
Chris Dodd in 95, $250 to John Kerry in 95, and $250 to Barbara Boxer in 98.
So it doesn't seem unfair to call him a liberal, and the scholar part seems
reasonable, by volume of work if nothing else.
I tried to find the new version of his hornbook today, without success.
