• Sommario/riassunto: A socially and fiscally conservative essayist and book editor offers opinions on various political, cultural, and social issues that arose during the 1960s, ranging from post-1945 international politics to civil rights and integration to the differences between Europe and the US. Of interest perhaps from an anthropological perspective, the essays were originally published as introductions to the quarterly periodical he edited, Modern Age.
