Despite the glaring lack of uniform standards across the country, most police recruits fit Dr. Rhead's prescription, as far as it goes. In Eastern and Midwestern cities, the typical recruit is a Roman Catholic of blue-collar background and Irish, Polish or perhaps Italian ancestry. Often, says Chicago Psychologist Arnold Abrams, he has been "exposed to an autocratic environment." Most recruits are eldest sons; most tend to be nervous around authority.

Numerous passengers narrowly escaped a fall off the platform as they stepped back to appraise a statue of King Tutankhamen. Dramatized by artfully concealed spotlights and projectors were copies of treasures from four of the Louvre's main sections: French Medieval, Egyptian, Ancient Oriental and Greco-Roman.

In The American Empire, French Historian Amaury de Riencourt (The Coming Caesars) takes up the subject once again. De Riencourt specializes in sweeping, Toynbee-like historical patterns, especially symmetrical parallels between the Roman past and the American present. He has the indispensable arrogance of a born generalizer who, with mixed success, has assigned himself such breathtaking abstractions as The Soul...
