...Soglin escaped criticism from his friends on the left. Some, pointing to the modest, $26,000 house he and his wife recently bought and to his $24,000 salary, suspect that he has gone bourgeois. Others feel that he has at least retreated from the radicalism of his student days. "There are council members who are submitting much more progressive legislation than Paul is," says Alderman Susan Kay Phillips, 29, a member of the radical Wisconsin Alliance. Even the university's Daily Cardinal, which endorsed his mayoral bid, has become critical. Soglin, it charged, has provided "mere efficiency...

In part, one suspects, because the struggle occurs mostly in Little England, a political shire now shorn of power and purpose, where there may simply be too much central heating for the spy who comes in from the cold. (One of the reasons the mole becomes a mole, in fact, seems to be the 1956 Suez disaster. He joins Moscow in part to be where the historic action is.)

...understandably annoyed at the way their neighborhood is being run down. They are rather more clever than you would give them credit for - short-circuiting the lights at will, squirming through air-conditioning ducts to bite the folks good night. After a while, indeed, one begins to suspect that they had a chaw or two on the wiring of the computer that picked this lot of survival candidates.
