...thaw (the real one, that is) was at its height in Moscow last week. Ice floes were in full flight down the river. At last the Kremlin's onion domes were bare of snow. In Sokolniki Park, small boys whooped after model planes and grownups silently drank up the sun. It was the time when, Chekhov wrote, "spring is ready to enter the soul...
...felt like a fighter wearing 16-ounce gloves . . . up against a bare-knuckle slugger who had gouged, kneed, and kicked"--so he writes of his feelings after the "kitchen debate." Of the 1952 campaign he reflects: "The idea of putting Stevenson in the ring with a man like Stalin simply petrified me." The quality the U.S. needs most of in the Cold War is "moral, mental, and physical stamina"; the men who make policy do not require imagination or intelligence so much as "facing up to hard realities."

But misrepresentation is not confined to scientists. Stylized representations of all professions, generally grossly inaccurate, flood our media. Our T.V. cowboys bear no more resemblance to real post-Civil War cowboys than Perry Mason and Nicholas Cain bear to real lawyers, or Peter Gunn to a real private...
