Frank's unorthodox approach to teaching political science, combined with his believe in the power of youth to affect international relations, makes impressions not soon forgotten.
In a field that prides itself on sophistication and intellectual grooming, a personality such as Frank's, which incorporates vast academic know-how and unmatched dedication, is refreshing to students and teachers alike.
Frank's plans may be big, like upcoming travels to Egypt in winter and Hungary in the summer, but he manages to remain fairly optimistic about the things he sees before him.

 Rep. Barney Frank opposed San Francisco's gay marriage effort | ajc.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In an interview with The Associated Press, Frank expressed concern that the image of lawlessness and civil disobedience in San Francisco would lead some in Congress to support a federal constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Frank said he had hoped Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court decision upholding the right of same-sex couples to marry would serve as a national model for orderly, legal protection of gay marriage.
California law defines marriage as "a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman." In addition, voters approved a ballot measure in 2000 that said only marriages between a man and woman are valid.

 The Overlook Press
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl has been read by millions around the world and many of them have, since the house was opened as a museum in 1960, traveled to Amsterdam to see the building and the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her diary.
Visitors to 263 Prinsengracht are taken on a journey back in time; in each of the rooms, excerpts from Anne's diary provide an impression of what happened there during the hiding period—and visitors can trace the lives of each of the inhabitants of the Secret Annex and the four employees of Anne's father.
The photographs compiled here are in fl-and-white and in color; they are vivid and moving, and make a lasting impression: not only does the reader experience the house and its relics, but photos of Anne's family, and their friends, as well as the people who helped them, and the changing Amsterdam neighborhood where they lived.
