...also seems unwise to push secrecy to the point where it becomes a fetish. Concealment in any part of the Armed Forces serves as precedent for general secrecy; and while national security requires that much military information be secret, zealous concealment of satellite attempts (a field, incidentally, in which we do not seem to be able to give much succor to the Soviets) fosters an atmosphere inimical to the public knowledge needed to run a democracy.

The trouble is that Author Grossman's hero is more ridiculous than his victims, and the social vices he flays seem almost attractive compared to the empty reaches of his own sick soul. But Grossman, in spite of long stretches of overwriting and more than a trace of downright vulgarity, clearly has talent, wit and a savage satirical bite...
