...Obscenities mingled with tear gas in Chicago. Black Panthers roamed the streets of Oakland. With a sense of deja-vu-of old, familiar furniture being dusted off-barricades once again surrounded the University of Paris. There were no programs, or few of them, for the future; there was only rage against the present.

They have been on the verge of revolution for the last hundred and sixty odd years . . . The unsolved problems pile up and inevitably produce catastrophes at regular intervals. The Italians always see the next one approaching with a clear eye, but like...
