...version, and he just goes on and on, getting more bellicosely bombastic as he goes along. It still sounds stirring, as an old man's last call to battle should, but it sounds more than a little ludicrous, too. It's like a parody out of some '30s pacifist tract, some embarrassingly guileless Johnny Got His Gun. But Ives was entirely serious, and he stayed that...
Lamont goes on to deny that an Oedipal complex, arising from hate of a father who hobnobbed with J.P. Morgan and James J. Hill, was "operative" in his decision to become a socialist, Humanist, civil libertarian and world pacifist. True to form, just as throughout this compendium of essays Lamont attacks determinism in any name, shape and form (Christian theistic, Marxist economic, Skinnerian behaviorist, even shades he sights in Dewey's naturalistic), he dismisses Freudian psychology as the explanation for his very un-patrician life choices. Rather, Lamont places a premium on just such choices--life choice, free will, individual...
Jail Tunnel. The results, starting with Westlake's The Fugitive Pigeon in 1965, have brought new life to a neglected subgenre: the caper novel.

The baby was born at Jonah House, the pacifist commune where her parents now live...
Most Harvard students probably saw little need even for constructive alternatives to American foreign policy. The Young Democrats and the Young Republicans had both cabled support on Cuba to President John F. Kennedy '40, and the Lowell Lec meeting had been called by the most activist, most pacifist organization on campus, a group called Tocsin that never had more than about 80 members. Tocsin had grown out of the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy in the summer of 1960--the same year that saw a minor flurry of small student demonstrations outside the Cambridge Woolworth's, in solidarity with...
