...riot in France, Germany or Italy -or in many another country-would profess outright allegiance to anarchy, but its basic tenets inspire many of their leaders. Germany's "Red Rudi" Dutschke and France's "Red Danny" Cohn-Bendit openly espouse anarchy. "In theory," says West German Political Scientist Wolfgang Abendroth, "the students are a species of Marxists, but in practice they are anarchists."

The eleventh of 13 children of a Victorian soldier-scientist, Lytton Strachey grew up as the most squirrelly member of a pandemoniously eccentric household. The grotesque English public school system did little for him except inspire the literary decapitation, in Eminent Victorians, of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the spartan Christian of Rugby. By the time Lytton reached Cambridge in 1899, he was a distinct oddity-a gangly, shrill-voiced, germ-ridden, manic-depressive esthete, caustic as lye except when caught in the eternally adolescent...
