...would be hypocritical of the United States to condemn and oppose Soviet imperialism without ending our support for repressive regimes in El Salvador and South Africa. Our hands, too, are dirty. But to abandon Poland's workers while we redirect our policy towards the Third World would be a grave abdication of responsibility. We must both oppose Soviet aggression and correct our errors...
...addition to his well publicized efforts to reduce aid to students--cuts which, as they stand, will not redirect funds from the rich to the poor, as intended--Reagan has put forth plans to cut drastically government support for the arts and humanities, educational and scientific research, and training in many other areas.

"The Hero in History" summarizes his brilliant division of the "event-making" men who redirect history (Lenin, Peter the Great) and "eventful" men (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman) who are overtaken by circumstance. Yet his call for a corrective to the country's present antiheroic mood is simply an "intelligent political participation on the part of citizens"-a phrase indistinguishable from November editorials...
