...Republican leader calls a "glamour vacuum." Another, potentially more serious threat is that Kennedy's removal from presidential politics -at least for now-could encourage the party's far left to consider founding an independent movement.

Despite warnings from the astute theorist Rosa Luxemburg that revolution was premature, the Spartacists kept urging revolt in the streets. In January 1919, they got what they asked for: an uprising. The desperate Socialists, who had done their best to cooperate with the far left, turned to the far right for help. Remnants of the Kaiser's army, informally organized into Freikorps, marched into Berlin, ruthlessly smashing the rebellion and executing...
