Found on Science Alert:

“Well, the verdict is in. The Moon is not made of green cheese after all.”

Aaron Wildavsky was his name and American Government was the course.

And, how did “green cheese” come up?

The final examine in his course was an open book, 24-hour essay on how one would obtain the franchise to mine green cheese on the moon.

I got an A-.

Wildavsky went on to become Chairman of the Political Science Department at Berkley.

His most famous book is “Politics of the Budgetary Process.”

The book I found most interesting was “The Nursing Father: Moses as a Political Leader.” In it, Wildavsky argues that Moses was every type of leader one can imagine at one time or another, a fascinating analysis.

I also liked “Leadership in a Small Town.”

I feel certain he was a Democrat, but one could not tell from anything he said in class.
