...explanations which Wilson's Sociobiology provides for racism, fascism, and war are unscientific at best and dangerous at worst. The inhuman acts carried out by racists in Germany, South Africa, and the U.S. have been answered by heroic anti-racist and anti-fascist resistance. Where there were Nazis, there were partisans; where there is apartheid, there is massive rebellion, where there has been the Klan, ROAR, and the war in Indochina there has been the civil rights movement, CAR, and the anti-war movement...
...threat of war involving all Europe mounted, Eden's dissatisfaction with the way Chamberlain was dealing with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy prompted him to quit the Foreign Ministry, thus jeopardizing a promising political career. "The essence of our actions at home and abroad must be firmness and courage," he said at the time. "All must be ready to defend it."

When the crowd broke in the afternoon to "elect" a chief for the new movement in voting booths thrown up around the fairground, the electors were presented with only three choices--"for" Chirac, "against" Chirac, or "abstain." One spectator, questioned by a New York Times reporter about the angry but obedient mood...
...other words, Chirac is playing with fire. Although by no means a fascist, he has obviously decided to cash in on France's neo-bonapartist tradition of authoritarian appeals and vehement nationalist political drama. Throughout his rally speech, Chirac played on deGaulle's favored theme of "independent nationalism." In a bombastic piece of oratory reminiscent of deGaulle, he called on "free men who want to shape their history with their own hands...
