...hard, however, to see how knowledge of chemistry can make questioners any more effective in raising the ethical and political questions involved in Dow's manufacture of napalm. The central problem in the Dow controversy--an industry's responsibility for the nature and use of its product--is moral not chemical.

By suggesting that economic interests play a strong role in human events, Beard helped bring American history closer to the bitter realities of contemporary life. By implying that businessmen had betrayed the radical spirit of the American...
