...Poland's fate to be sealed by European apathy and U.S. caution? The answer is probably yes, unless tough sanctions are applied now against the Soviet Union. It's unrealistic to wait for the forces of moderation and reason to prevail...
...Economics of Justice has serious flaws, to be sure. The passages of turgid, eye-glazing prose that seem to prevail, require an economics or law background. Posner prefaces each of his four treatises in professorial, outline-on-the-board fashion ("In this chapter, I ask how...," "I hope to challenge...," "I will sketch a model...).

Very rarely is violence the best means of resolving conflict; a revolution to bring about immediate majority rule might be the worst...
