Some have argued a bit extravagantly in the past that a woman President would bring the millennium: her explicitly feminine qualities would gentle the militaristic impulse, introduce new compassion to such fields as health care, housing and education, and render government deeply humane. But many theoreticians of Women's Liberation think that that argument carries a sexist seed. Says Gloria Steinem: "The truth probably is that women are not more moral, they are only uncorrupted by power...
THERE can be little doubt that during the Korean War, administration distrust was essentially a manifestation of anti-Communist sentiment. This feeling was sufficiently strong to render any government action suspect. In the case of Vietnam, however, the anti-Communist component appears negligible; the credibility gap controversy seems to be a product of sheer indignation on the part of the public, without any ideological underpinnings...
...frequently criticized on their own terms for not doing enough. However, human liberation requires the liberation of each individual from material insecurity. Every man and woman must be able to eat, work, clothe himself, and find suitable shelter before spiritual liberation becomes meaningful. The racial minorities did not render themselves poor.

Skinner deals with man and his culture from the beginning to the future, in a dazzling series of generalities designed for the general reader. This book is direct in line of descent from such grand visionary works at Rousseau's Second Discourse and Jacques Loeb's Mechanistic Conception of Life, Skinner, like Rousseau and Loeb, has attempted to transcend the role of the scientist and assume the mantle of the prophesy. And, more important, like Rousseau and Loeb, Skinner has been carried away by his cosmic dream...
