...political theorist or a thinker, trying to analyze and interpret a new movement, "ism" or secular trend like Communism, Fascism, Nazism, National Socialism or the New Deal, cannot do a satisfactory job if he has to denounce all the time what he is trying to explain, in order to protect himself against the charge of being a champion of all the evils of what he is writing or talking about.

...Your television set is not a vending machine for higher learning. It can, at best, be an invitation to knowledge. That in itself is very much . . . But the coaxial cable alone will not pump culture into anyone's veins-child or adult. Despite what any educational theorist may say, one can't possibly grow up to be educated without wide reading...
