It is necessary for graduate work, and cannot be expected to be very interesting. Mason's Economics 11a and b, on the history and economics of Socialism, while they are not well organized, represent--especially the history--a field which has been practically ignored in the social sciences, although it is listed as a special topic for the correlation exam--the History of Political and Economic Thought.

For Adamic, who heard the story from an old Socialist in 1928, violence "à la McNamara" is the chart that explains the conflict between Capital & Labor, between Right & Left, together with all other U. S. Sargassoan social incongruities. Put simply, says Adamic, "there is entirely too much snarling and snorting." It was this discovery that determined Adamic to steer clear of all political entanglements, all fighting provocations.
