...books, notably The Origins of Totalitarian Democracy, that traced the distortions of the democratic idea by the belief in a "popular will." Talmon recently sparked a debate in Israel when he attacked Prime Minister Menachem Begin's autonomy policy in the occupied West Bank and Gaza as "an archaic concept, a trick to shut the Gentile's mouth...
...society has, for the most part, recognized the adult citizen's right to produce, disseminate, and read/view obscene materials. That an archaic statute remains on the books in Cambridge is perhaps unfortunate, but hardly a significant threat to human freedom. If one really wants acess to pronography, 25 cents will take you to the combat zone and all the filth you could possibly want. This, it seems to me, is the real intent of the First Amendment: a guarantee that no perspective will be silenced...

In between lay some magnificent paintings, such as the Seated Female...
...alter ego. Yoda's speeches might almost be called The Wit and Wisdom of George Lucas. Like Yoda, Lucas is a devout believer in the Force. Says Lucas: "When you are born, you have an energy field around you. You could call it an aura. An archaic description would be a halo. It is an idea that has gone all the way through history. When you die, your energy field joins all other energy fields in the universe, and while you're still living that larger energy field is sympathetic to your own energy field...
