However, this American is usually an unwitting tool of America's colonial goals, of its official modernization effort. He goes about his work with no conception of its implications for Lao nationalism. Even when he has no part of it, he cannot undo the damage done by the American war effort nor can he even rectify the image of the American oppressor. And what if he could? He only serves to divert the enthusiasm of the people from their only realistic source of security...

Corso had achieved fame in Ohio before Kent by denouncing Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes as a tool of black revolutionaries and Communists, and by blaming permissiveness and a Communist conspiracy for ghetto riots.

But there is enough specific information on such arcana as composting and stonemasonry to qualify their book as an authentic long-term survival tool, and to explain its current promotion in journals like the Whole Earth Catalogue. The most dedicated food faddist, though, might be put off his feed by the manner in which they dismiss milk ("The secretion of the mammary glands of cows, goats and sheep") and eggs ("the reproductive media of birds"). The one thing Living...
