...personal integrity and moral conscience are not enough to counteract the sub-rational and even sub-human forces of the modern world. There is something depressing in reading the record of Welles' career: highly praised but abortive plans for peace conferences in 1939, polite missions to the Axis leaders, "lucid and well-informed" reports on the Munich crisis.
