Then came another series of interchanges between Chicago Bureau Chief Murray Gart. Nation Editor Champ Clark and Writer Jesse Birnbaum. The bureau chief has a good idea of what the story's theme should be: after all, he is on the scene.

Riesman captures insights so true that his weaving them into a fabric of vague theory seems inescapably right--yet he expounds a point of view rather than an encompassing hypothesis, and his theories have a habit of melting like a sweet, decorated ice cream...
