...ordered the Japanese film director. The cast took their places in the bedroom of a Tokyo inn. "Hajime [action]!" he shouted, and two underclad starlets tore into a frenzied catfight, clawing and crashing all over the minuscule room. The camera shots might have made Hugh Hefner blush, and the violence of the battle literally shook the foundations of the building-until an indignant old lady, the innkeeper, stalked in and demanded: "What goes on here?

As a tiger among lesser cats, Beard claws all his enemies in this particular chapter to death. Beard's opponents have fictitious names, but it is easy to identify them with the beliefs of Dr. James Shotwell, Clarence Streit, Ely Culbertson, Wendell Willkie, Herbert Agar, Pearl Buck and others. The weakness of this foreign-policy symposium derives from its satirical intent, which is not in keeping with The Republic as a whole. Walter Lippmann, for example...
