His implication: a have-not nation is entitled to totalitarian methods to catch up with the haves-an argument that was also used to justify Hitler. Gibbon, pondering the collapse of civilization among the ruins of the Forum, achieved a certain grandeur. Toynbee, among the groceries in the PX, seems little more than irritable...
