...THIS COUNTRY is falling apart, no one feels more guilty about it then the liberal journalist. He feels guilty for the entire year 1968--the assassinations, the riots, the rise of Wallace, the blood in Chicago. Saying that liberals feel guilty about things is somewhat a cliché (that is, after all, how we normally discount what they say). But look at what it means to feel guilty...
...incisive study of France's problems today entitled The New French Revolution, British Journalist John Ardagh points out that "Paris over the centuries has sucked the blood out of her provinces." Things were set up that way back in the early days of the French Revolution, when the nation was chopped into nearly 100 illogically ar ranged departments with the firm intention of making every local decision dependent upon Parisian whims. That situation still exists today: "Not a statue can be erected, not a centime spent, without Paris becoming involved," moans a Breton official...
...Great Trauma. In many countries, people refuse to wake each other, thinking that a man's soul wanders at night and may not have time to get back if sleep ends prematurely.

Mutters Pablo Picasso, "I understand why they execute condemned men at dawn. I just have to see the dawn in order to have my head roll all by itself." Hungarian Author Ferenc Molnar was so unaccustomed to daylight that once, when...
What this long-time journalist for the Newhouse newspaper chain attempted was to write a definitive history of the campaign. In this effort he failed. Not because he didn't gather the facts about the campaign, but because he didn't understand the forces which made 1968 such an abnormal political year. Witcover admires Kennedy's ability to attract students and black support as well as white ethnic votes (Hungarians, Polish-Americans). In his attempt to avoid analysis, however, he leaves all the background threads hanging--unconnected to the facts of the campaign. Thus, Witcover spends 35 pages describing...
Witcover attempted to deal with Kennedy's campaign in the traditional mold of journalist-authors and failed to get at the essence of his subject. Halberstam succeeds in his short mood work. The Harper's contributing editor has learned to deal with the new politics and the changes in campaign style by adapting his style. It is a hopeful sign...
