Not a Frenchman, certainly, who would regard a scandal as droll; nor an Englishman, to be sure, who would regard it as an honor. No, only an American would blunder forth as in the Agee case, openly advocating fair play, the merit system, and the rights of privacy within the same declaration. Only an American would be so impatient as to prevent...
