...solved.... This very triumph of the democratic social revolution in the West ends domestic politics for those intellectuals who must have ideologies or utopias to motivate them to political action." Even while, as Lipset also declared, it was almost universally believed that "the workers have achieved industrial and political citizenship," that "class conflict is minimized," if not altogether eliminated. Yet, even at the same conjuncture it was possible for another scholar observing the same forces in the same societies to arrive at radically different conclusions. Ernest Mandel, for one, never ceased insisting that it is perfectly possible in the present...

He and his friends organized their own training program, and Brock started coming down from his plush home atop Lookout Mountain to teach reading...

The issue of first-class black citizenship possibly occasioned, through the instrumentality of the late 1950s and early 1960s, the beginning of the church's move to reclaim the civil order. When Martin Luther King took to the streets in 1956 to challenge laws of the land, and when masses followed him, and when clergy followed the masses, the new "activist church" entered the headlines and the separated civil and religious orders in America moved from a substantially...
