Hausler said last night that he and Wilcox "can't really say what our system of rotation will be." and that the composition of the future disciplinary committee is still "the subject of debate within the Committee of Fifteen...
Same Words. The American people, he said, "should be made aware of the trend toward the monopolization of the great public-information vehicles and the concentration of more and more power over public opinion in fewer and fewer hands." It was a promising introduction to a subject that needs discussion.

Besterman's zeal can nearly do the impossible: make his scintillating subject dull. Yet Voltaire survives even his sedulous admiration-perhaps because no age can help finding a man fascinating who himself was so fascinated by life...
