The subject: The New Class, the anti-Communist political tract by Recanting Red Milovan Djilas, the Yugoslav long beleaguered and now in prison for turning on the party and Dictator Tito. Armstrong's program-saving trick was to ignore the dialectic of the book, concentrate instead on the spectacle of a man standing alone against his old comrades...
