...single, imperial official in this very superficial fashion because these local gentry these local degree-holder landlords, educated, influential people form a class that is helping to run things on the local scene. And now in the modern day, it doesn't take us very long to find the latter-day equivalent, the new form of this kind of local elite. The Communists have got to have it. And so you have another perspective on the Communist effort...
History has been cruel to Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. In his day-the latter half of the 19th century-he was an enormously popular writer. Hardly anyone knows him today except as the sick mind who, like the Marquis de Sade, lent his name to the glossary of psychiatric terms.

Thanks in large measure to its shock value...
...involvement spend too much time worrying about the motives and tactics of those who share their goals. Second only to the fear that criticism will be suppressed is the fear of critics that they will be found in association with someone who, for whatever eccentric reason, has developed a latter day affection for Ho Chi Minh. This is silly. I do confess to wishing that all who are concerned about Vietnam would be more concerned with winning friends and influencing their fellow citizens in effective fashion...
