...literary editor and columnist for the newsmagazine L 'Express and its editor in chief from 1978 to 1981. His 1970 book in praise of American freedom of dissent, Without Marx or Jesus, outraged nationalistic French intellectuals of both the left and right. In 1976 he created another furor with The Totalitarian Temptation, a blistering condemnation of French Socialist tolerance of "vintage Stalinism...
...CRAZED "Chicken Little" mentality caused the furor over the MiG episode, then we have much to fear as a nation, because American political leaders from across the spectrum shared in the concern (as duly noted in the majority opinion).

But perhaps this last fact is what really dooms Deadly Gambits as a useful guideline for decisions about nuclear policy. How Byzantine and deceitful have the men in the Kremlin been? We do not know: neither does Talbott. What have been...
Some of the new arrivals have become bored in the countryside and have demanded free bus tickets to return to urban centers. Many of them have left, enlarging the street population of Portland. But at the ranch, most contented followers of the Bhagwan wonder what all the furor is about. Declared Ma Prem Goldie, a former Los Angeles high school teacher: "I haven't missed a thing about the outside world. Time and the future don't get in the way here. This is truly a religious experience...
