...with MIT professor Bruce Mazlish in the New York Review of Books letter column several years ago. Mazlish, who wrote a crude psycho-biography of our former chief executive called In Search of Nixon, had attacked Coles for panning a group of similar psycho-biographies. He called Coles a traitor to the field and made a "Well, Erikson was just telling me over lunch" sort of remark in "the field's" defense. Coles responded that he didn't care to ally himself with "fields" or "schools," but that he admired social thinkers who were original and thoughtful and not overly...
Ideally, Smith would like to deal with Bishop Abel Muzorewa's United African National Council. So far, Muzorewa (who is currently in Europe, presumably on a fund-raising trip) has refused to negotiate, though he might be willing to do so if he could avoid being branded a traitor by the Patriotic Front. Muzorewa has no guerrilla organization and practically no support from neighboring African states, but he is undeniably popular in Rhodesia and is hailed at rallies in Salisbury's huge Highfield township as "the black Moses." In the event of a broadly based plebiscite, Muzorewa might...
...chapter on "Homemakers." Most of the full-time housewives whom Howe interviewed were content with their lives and proud of their accomplishments. But in every case, the contentment was tinged with guilt feelings and with insecurities. On the one hand, the woman at home feels like a traitor to the feminist movement.

...Traitor!" screamed the Iranian press. "Stooge for capitalism!" The target of that wrath, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani, smoothly replied with just about the worst possible insult in the Islamic world. He implied that the eleven members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, who have announced a two-stage increase of 15% in the world price of oil, v. the 5% increase posted by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are playing into the hands of Israel. Said Yamani: "Israel has an interest in higher prices because they push the West to find alternative sources...
Chirac's political turnabouts-first against Jacques Chaban-Delmas, the Gaullist candidate in 1974, then against President Valery Giscard d'Estaing-have earned him a reputation as an opportunist. Chaban still privately refers to him as a "traitor." Others have called him "Jacques the Knife," and some cynical members of Giscard's Independent Republicans characterized the dramatic rally at which he launched his renamed party as "smacking of Nuremberg." Those who know Chirac well-including foreign diplomats-are positive he is no "closet fascist," though he is staunchly conservative. He is against nationalization and NATO, for free...
