...autonomous men of the mind," as Howe does, is simply not convincing. And the description of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin as part of the long-standing Jewish tradition of "violent dissociation, postures of self-hatred and contempt for one's fathers" is surprising coming from Howe.

These efforts have so far been badly handicapped by a lack of funds, but President Gerald Ford, after a plea from USGS scientists, has authorized an additional $2.6 million for earthquake research in fiscal 1977-$2 million of it specifically for studying the bulge...
