...already split the Democrats so badly that they are now in some ways two different parties-the McGovernites and the regulars. The McGovern forces -the young, the suburbanites, the intellectuals, an admixture of some blacks and blue-collar workers-are parvenus to the old party, a new political wave bred in complicated ways by Viet Nam, the assassinations, all the dislocations of the '60s.

Currently, Ethologist Konrad Lorenz insists that aggression and violence are inevitable because they were bred into man by natural selection during prehistoric times. But there is widespread disagreement with this theory. Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, for example, considers the Lorenz view "nonsense," calling it "not explanation but rationalization...
