...June 15, venerable, but slightly doddering, History 1 will join the ranks of Former Harvard Greats. Just after World War I the renowned back-breaker assumed its present form, surveying Western Europe from the Fall of Rome to the present. It saw glorious days under President Lowell as the core of Harvard education, a pre-requisite for every undergraduate in History, Government, and Economics. In recent years, however, its age has begun to show, and its passing is no surprise...
...York City may be sound to the core, but it is rotten around the edges. From Red Hook to Hell's Kitchen in the muttering jungle of New York's 771-mile waterfront, bollard-necked hoodlums have long kept things regular with gun, knife, cargo hook and dornick. They have prospered so well and without challenge that they have been forced to kill only about 20 men in ten years in & around the docks. Now & then one of the hoodlums went to the chair for it, but business was fine otherwise. According to the best estimates, they stole...
...Visiting Committees of mothers. These people, however, are amateurs--they know nothing of slicing beef or buying coffee, they can evaluate appearance and taste, not method.

Historicus does not deny Stalin's arrant opportunism. What he shows is that Stalin and the world Communist Party guide their main course on the basis of a hard core of theory, and have done so for 25 years with "amazing consistency." Around the hard core of theory is a hard layer of what Stalin calls program. Around this is a layer of strategy, then an outer husk of tactics...
...understanding Stalin is right here, says Historicus: the tactics always, the strategy often, are expendable and replaceable; these are the party-line flipflops that make the headlines, but they do not change the core of theory and program. To understand the manipulable strategy and tactics, Stalin's followers - and his intended victims - have to understand the inner theory and program. Historicus puts his heaviest stress on Stalin's use of fixed theory right along with and intermeshed with shifting tactics. Stalin employs both, simultaneously. Most politicians of the West tend to bear down on one or the other...
