Future History. Though the ties still bind, anti-French sentiment is rising. Students and workers particularly feel that their leaders have sold out to Paris, and they would like to have their countries run without French constraint. For such tiny or unviable countries as Togo, Chad and Dahomey, this is an impossible dream. But for Senegal, the Ivory Coast, Cameroun and Mauritania, such a transition is inevitable. In the view of most African observers, French-speaking Africa faces a second revolution, if only because the first one didn't change anything...
...inherited no secure historical position. Their diversity was extreme. Some left Germany for Rome and Raphael; others remained at home, seeking a continuity with the Gothic past; their images ran a gamut from Blakean vision to the tightest realism. From this jumble rose a group whose imagination transcended the constraint of their circumstances; they are represented in a fascinating show, "German Painting in the 19th Century," which opened last week at the Yale University Art Gallery...

In At War With Asia, he rejects that constraint, and his language is less careful, wilder, and in many ways far more moving...
...skepticism of the masses, justified somewhat, wrote off the surest (if slowest) engine of social change. Even if programs come out of a vacuum, they still require public cooperation to make an impact. A broader perspective on power would include society-how societal constraint and coercion generate power. The mass of the public may prove resistant to change, but that inertia is the critical variable. The public provides the climate, if not the specific cues, in which the government sets policy. That climate determines how well the ministry party pulls together on crucial issues. Crossman's focus would distort...
...definition of our constraint is not extended beyond sexuality we are only untrammeled in a greater bondage. We may not be choosing but reacting, ironically under the compulsion of our real subordination; we express in our sexual life the very essence of our secondariness and the destructive contradictions of our consciousness. The "free" women constantly needs the reassurance of men that she is beautiful and wanted, because only through these is she capable of defining her freedom...
