...Wicker, "believe that the 'sick society' idea is a sort of American defense mechanism; these dreadful things having happened, some Americans are anxious to regain their self-regard and the respect of others, and therefore hurry to accept the responsibility for awful events." It may be, agreed David Broder in the Washington Post, that the wave of assassinations heralds a "social breakdown," but it "seems to me a form of escapism to throw up our hands, and, like a chorus of Miniver Cheevy's, 'weep that we were ever born.' " Broder proposed acting instead...
...anguish and frustration of their parents, their fury at the police and the courts, tempered by the knowledge that they could not do much about it. Above all, one could scarcely find, in journalism or in fiction, a more revealing portrait of a certain type of policeman.

During the beating of a V.C., Reporter Janssen protests, "There's such a thing as due process." "Out here," sneers Wayne, "due process is a bullet." Built on the primitive lines of a standard western, Berets even has the South Vietnamese talking like movie Sioux: "We build many...
...wrote the book from what he claims to be "the perspective of years," but in looking back over his 19 "incredible months" with the Senator, he writes like a man who has remembered everything and learned nothing. Recalling his library-raiding tour of USIS offices in Europe with G. David Schine, he admits that it might have been unnecessary to remove Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, but he still implies that John K. Fairbank's commendable classic, The United States and China, is somehow subversive-and quotes a paragraph out of context to prove...
