Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas claims that "I thought [Thomas Sowell] was nuts" in a interview in the November 1987 issue of Reason Magazine.

In their December 1994 issue, Reason Magazine "asked a number of scholars mostly university professors to recommend works that students are not likely to encounter on the typical college syllabi but that they would suggest to a curious undergraduate."  Sowell's books get mentioned several times.

Forbes magazine interviewed Thomas Sowell in the July 6, 1998 issue.
