Year ago Bubble-dancer Rand told a Broadway columnist she planned to retire as a rich old maid of 60, live on her annuities. This year she launched her Dnude Ranch at San Francisco's Fair-this time as proprietress, while other young women did the physical labor. By Sept. 30 she had netted $32,433.

To reflective witnesses, however, even the best "liberal" thinking has seemed about as far behind the times as Montesquieu's and Jefferson's was ahead of theirs. Parkes's book catches up with history. A young (34) history instructor at New York University, previously known for a brilliant History of Mexico and for a few remarkably lucid essays, Parkes has tested the dogma of the Left in the light of history and reason, drawn his conclusions, brought them into sharp focus with political facts, and thereby outlined...
