Another of the approximately half-yearly occasions (cf. #171 for background) when the tables are turned and the guests question their host. Our three questioners this time are all associated with the paper that, as WFB puts it, is "called, according as you sympathize with it or not, a great newspaper or a roving assassin at the service of socialists anywhere." Rapiers flash as we go from the prerogatives of the state to the politics of the American establishment to the Vietnam War. WFB: "Now, if you want to move from considerations of politics to considerations of ethics, I'm prepared to do so. But ring a bell and say we're moving from one area to another." JP: 'They have no relationship with each other in your field?" WFB: "Not in the view in which-not when I talk to adults. When I talk to adults and I say to them, 'The state has the right to defend its independence,' I don't expect that they will say, 'Well, does that mean they have the right to eat children?'"
