The mortality rate reaches perilously close to 100%, and even if the tender seedling manages somehow to sprout, it must struggle for growth in the sun-robbing shadow of sturdy old plants-well-rooted dailies that have been around long enough to become a habit. These difficulties seem particularly obvious in Phoenix, Ariz., which already has two papers-Eugene Pulliam's Republic and Gazette-and has indicated no crying need for another.

Yet, even though opposition to his regime is massive throughout the country, he still has the bulk of the army with him.

He will stay in the past, bound there by affection, by habit, by sloth, by congenital dislike of tomorrow, by the siren lure of a torrid, torpid land that makes its children long "voluptuously for death." As the film ends he kneels and, yearning upward to the morning star, prays passionately for death: "O faithful star! When will you give...
