Tell such a man that you are not a Darwinian, and he will usually conclude that you must be a Fundamentalist. If you do not believe in the economic interpretation of history, you must be a "mystical Tory." If you are not a materialist, you must be an idealist. "Ours is a scientific world, a literate world, saturated with -I will not say, the precise ideas of the three materialists-but surely with their deeper spirit, their faith in matter, their love of system, their abstract scientism, and their one-sided interpretation of Nature."

...word "fundamentalist" went unspoken, but Dr. Smith's nominators stressed the "orthodoxy" and "genuineness" of his Presbyterianism.

The stern, old-fashioned eloquence is on one side; the massing of evidence on the other. Fundamentalist Beard has a simple image of the world. He writes of international relations as a matter of occasional notes between diplomats of remote nations. Modernist Buell writes of international relations in an era when radio propaganda has supplanted polite diplomatic exchanges. He envisions the world as that shrunken globe seen by Howard Hughes as he flew around it in 91 hours, as Pan-American...
