...turning its entire power against those "ungrateful monsters," as one Tory journalist calls the Americans. "If they are condemned unheard, it is because there is no need of a trial," thunders Dr. Samuel Johnson, London's leading literary figure and a confirmed anti-American.* "The crime is manifest and notorious. Their deliberations were indecent and their intentions seditious...
Heidegger's work often lapsed into concentric circles: "Anxiety makes manifest ... its Being towards its own most potentiality-for-Being-that is, its Being-free for the freedom of choosing itself and taking hold of itself." He made studied verbal analogies (for example, heil, whole; heilig, holy; and heilen, to heal).

His airplane-window view of America inspires musings on our manifest destiny--he looks out over "the watershed of the Mississippi, the valleys of Ohio and the plainslands of Missouri, a continent in itself as surely designed for America's use as a woman's womb for the seed of humanity"--and memories of the red loess in the mountains...
