...They do not, or dare not, inquire about politics, being afraid of getting themselves into trouble. As far as politics is concerned, it can be said, American university students are ignorant in the extreme. They do not know who Marx was or what the world situation is like.

Fred presents the hero as the sort of six-foot sissy who plays with little kids because he's scared of the bigger boys, and who helps little old ladies across the street because he doesn't dare offer his arm to a slick chick. No real boy, of course, would accept such an unmitigated gnerd as his leader, but the producers assemble about 20 Hollywood children, fresh from Disney's patented freckle dip, who act as if they would follow Fred into the jaws of heck...
