Flatlanders never have been able to understand mountain climbers, and not even mountain climbers understand the pale, mud-smeared troglodytes whose curious passion it is to worm their way down through the clammy dark into the deepest and narrowest capillaries of caves.

Bryan rightfully celebrates the movement's victories; amid the present lethargy it is well to remember that unprecedented numbers of Americans had the courage to challenge their deepest beliefs. An age of innocence has passed forever, and the liars will have a harder time of it the next time around. The Cold Warriors, as John Kenneth Galbraith wrote recently, are coming out from under various rocks and talking tough once again, but the Mullens cannot and will...
