...fists, palms skewered by rods, fingers clamped to a balk of timber. These Rodin-like images of survival and defiance are full of expressionist anguish. As autobiography they are corny but moving. On the other hand, the earlier small steel pieces are generally disappointing. They seem clogged by graphic cliches and distended by a frustrated longing for bigness...
...John Birch Society has been more successful than George Wallace (at least for the Society's approximately 75,000 members) at evoking the horrors of Big Government, or maybe it has just been more graphic.

Richard Crossman--Oxford don, psychological warfare chief, Labour M.P. and editor of The New Statesman--complained...
Crossman died in 1973 and left behind him a set of political diaries that presented a "graphic and authentic" picture of behind-the-scenes workings of the Cabinet intended to expose the myths of Cabinet government with the same devastating accuracy Walter Bagehot had levelled against the myths of constitutional monarchy a century earlier...
