Description

"We are discreetly removed from the madness of yesterday on the campuses," WFB begins, "though an apostolate survives and is perhaps regrouping to strike again. At what? 'At America' is the easiest way to put it." Mr. Rader is emphatically of that disposition; Mr. Beichman emphatically is not. The conversation sometimes spins into outer space but never slows down. AB: " 'All power to the people' is your signature line. What people were you talking about?" DR: "It's basically a populist position." AB: "What people-not the hardhats, obviously. You wouldn't want them to have power." DR: "No, I think the basic thrust of the New Left... We always make a mistake because we assume the New Left is Marxist, which it's not." AB: "Is it Leninist?" DR: "... No, I think in spirit it is basically 18th century. That's how it began-18th-century constitutionalism.... This, coupled with disillusionment with American institutions, coming largely out of the response of those institutions to what were rather good-natured, traditional protests of grievances, the war-" AB: "Wait a minute. 'Good-natured'-you lost me there." DR: "I think they were good-natured."
