...thing, Stone talks dirty (not vulgar dirty, witty-engaging dirty). But mainly, as one shaggy-haired iconoclast admitted to me after his last Cambridge talk, "he comes on incredibly hip." Always advertised as something of a curiosity piece, a radical from the Twenties or Thirties now overripe on the bough, Izzy unabashedly foils his detractors five times out of six. Socialist platitudes or peacenik cliches simply aren't his style...
Glory & Dedication. At 46, Iconoclast Smith has climbed up the "professional progress chart" he offers in his book just as fast as the mythical Conformist Goodfellow. The pastor of the 2,200-member Wesley Methodist Church in Bloomington, Ill., Smith is a trustee of Illinois Wesleyan University, has a rich cherry-red rug in his office, drives a red Dodge convertible and aspires to own a Jaguar sedan.

His speech is spiced with phrases like "our quaint little economic system," "the good ol" American grass-roots system," and "pinch-penny politics." With tongue in check, he mentions "Barry Goldwater socialists"; a second later, he lashes out at the "great many people who profit from poverty in the United States." Always, he thinks in terms of an established structure which dominates not only politics, but all American society. "There is considerable institutional resistance to the 'War against Poverty.' The opposition is tenacious, but their...
