Aside from the narrow point that his political myopia prevents him from distinguishing Marxists from anarchists from populists, I would like to remind Wilson of what he already knows: the first public attack on Sociobiology came from that noted Marxist economist, Paul Samuelson, who in his column in the rabid left periodical, Newsweek, called "Sociobiology just another example of "social Dar-winism."

"Given half the chance," says this delightful romp, "every man becomes a hero." Nightwork has no more serious point to make - except to remind the reader that he can go home again.
