TEMPORALLY, THE EFFECTS OF THE COMBINE reach back as far as the Chief's childhood, when the white man cajoled his tribe off of their land, drove his father to drunken and death, and the half-breed boy towards stimulated deafness and dumbness, because "so one ever listened." Then came the war experience which left the Chief completely catatonic, wrapped in a mist of alternation, blown in periodically by the Combine's "log machines." World War II ranks high on the list of society's crimes against her individual members; it set Frank Scanion (Jon Richards) to building bombs with...
Anomaly. The question of a mandate will persist. Will the election of 1972 be remembered as an extravagant anomaly, an essentially reluctant landslide? McGovern, who had profoundly misread the temper of the American people, seized what is still the majority party and drove millions of Democrats, many of them unwillingly, to Nixon. But many are uneasy there as well, and it is not likely that they will find a permanent home there. Thus Nixon's mandate is indeed major, but, like all democratic mandates, conditional.

...EVERY bit as committed to rule by an elite as Kennan devised the very policies that drove him from the foreign service. Acheson and others, credited by the revisionist historians of the sixties with creating the Cold War, were very sophisticated (whatever else they may have been, they were sophisticated) men. Their policy led to the solidification of a divided Europe and a bipolar world. It led to internationalization and intensification of Third World domestic crises. In retrospect, Kennan's options were preferable, and, in view of his superior expertise (specific expertise preferable to sophistication) that isn't surprising...
