...member who did his time on the rack before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Schulberg is well-equipped to blueprint the attitudes and agonies of a man who once had high hopes for revolutionary reform. But his reach embarrassingly exceeds his grasp in dealing with Moreno's inner conflicts. What the book lacks is not philosophy or knowledge but a cohesive narrative skill. The phenomenal success of What Makes Sammy Run? (1941) and The Harder They Fall (1947) rested on fast-skipping story and stark, substantial characterization. In the end, Moreno's subtle, introspective world seems...
...what is owed to the self as warrior, yet he attempts to dissolve this self in allegiance to something greater. He scorns the esteem of men, for the honor which only the gods can confide. He will have honor from Zeus. His vision is the expression of his inner gloriousness. The Hiad presents us with two central heroic requirements: towering ardor of will, and a vision of immensity.

Through his unilateral executive move, the President has placed the country in a state of emergency. He has ignored the constitutional prerogative of Congress and has revealed the sham of his policy of Vietnamization, a policy which through a tortuous process of inner logic, demands that we escalate the war in order to enable American troops to withdraw. He has demonstrated that American foreign policy still dictates the necessity to sacrifice American lives to ravish independent countries and to squander our resources and energies...
