Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism is a kind of historical guide and handbook for the gentleman rebel -Emerson-cum-Marx rather than Rap Brown-cum-Mao. "I am less interested in 18th century radicalism than in 20th century radicalism," Lynd admits, and at times he makes American history read like one long protest march in which Jefferson, Thoreau and Staughton Lynd are fraternity brothers linked arm in arm.

...dangling cigarette to burn a hole in the suit of a somewhat wobbly diner. "I don't like that!" he protested, staggering to his feet and menacing poor Mia. Neither did Mitchum, who plastered a plate of salad on the Dutchman's face. In return, the gentleman heaved a salad at Mia. Before the waiters broke up the festivities, the air was full of cucumbers and tomato slices. Custard pie, anyone...
