...whether the chances are good or bad, Roger Brown has distinctly failed to come up with a reason for dropping the courses from his department's rolls. Somehow, Brown thinks the courses "belong better" under Gen Ed--he seems willing to risk killing a highly successful course just to maximize the specificity of departments. And even if we accept this as an admirable goal, Brown will somehow have to account for other courses on social change within his department, courses with a different point of view on social change from 148 and 149.

It's only too bad--to the tune of a lot of lives lost and a lot of minds destroyed--that LBJ was trapped by his own awe of the past. Even in the handsome color photograph on the book's cover, he is looking backwards. He probably always will...
