...working class, about family; and the lower class only about immediate bodily needs, especially sex, with little interest in the public good. If the lower class does not care about the future, he writes, then it will be immune to the deterrent factors of crime control and will riot and steal simply because the self-interest of the culture dictates such actions.

...Korea measure the situation with the same yardstick that they use in the U.S. Here the situation is much more desperate. Only 25 miles from Seoul, an enemy is bent on destroying us. We can not allow disorder. If we liberalize internally, if we let the students riot and the workers go on strike, the resulting confusion will be utilized by the North. De Gaulle wielded extraordinary power when he took over at the time of Algeria, but there was no criticism. . .
