Finally, Professor Lipset's view of historical cycles is, of course, none too eccentric a view of history: Plato, Polybius, Machiavelli, Vico, Spengler form an impressive pedigree. He need not even be too cautious in predicting when the next conservative cycle will dawn. After all, Plato-boldly and rather sensibly, as it would be well-nigh difficult and unnecessary to prove him wrong-calculated that history returned upon itself in 72,000 years!

He has stated that when the law goes into full effect tenants should be able to get rebates for higher rents paid after October first. From his vantage point this probably seems a better solution than letting tenants pay lower rents now, leaving the possibility that landlords could later be able to demand back money if the law is declared unconstitutional...
