...about everyone was thinking or doing. He should have realized that belabored descriptions of petty intimacies do not make for the most credible account of past events. More important, he should have realized that his wealth of information--the results of endless months of interviews--was no license to interpret repeatedly during his often poorly-written narrative. The result is not, as Manchester hoped it would be, "contemporary history." Any kind of history is a weave of event and evaluation, but the evaluation must have a veneer of rationality. Manchester is simply unable to make sense most of the time...
Local demonstrations should be organized including possible local civil disobedience but with a special emphasis on involving and reaching people beyond the usual anti-war constituencies. Petition campaigns might be used to provide popular support for the demand against invasion and to interpret it to large number of people. It is clear that a series of complementary activities would be generated by any program of large-scale arrests, and that through the crises of arrests a spirit could be generated to lift people out of their lethargv.

...flustered souls, is the first and most grievous wrong. It is a commonplace of Shakespearean criticism to say that some of the characters in Twelfth Night act so cruel that they seem insane, but that is no license to turn the play into a cut-rate Marat-Sade. To interpret the play that way is to say, "Be calm, audience, real people are nice. You have to be bonkers to be vicious." The audience should not be allowed to rest so easy...
