Kristol is a witty and at times eloquent man, and you have to be careful reading such men, because they can make things sound good that really aren't. This is also why I distrust writers. :P
Anyway, I do think it can be misleading to say "corrupted by a book," and I'm not so sure his logic is sound there, either (books have no corrupting influence = all education is morally irrelevant? really? seems like he skipped some steps there). But I partly address that in another comment.
