...sick with disgust at the behavior of the so-called authorities, who far too often react to every moral question raised by the young with incredible stupidity and obscene cruelty.

Simultaneously, Dwight MacDonald--one of the "walking dead" himself--saw affinities between Wolfe, Hitler, Joe McCarthy, and your run-of-the-mill kamikaze pilot. Finally, in an effort to eliminate superficial contradictions while injecting a needed sense of perspective, Walter Lippmann categorically declared: "Tom Wolfe...
