[QT3.14]

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins,
all of them imaginary.

~ H. L. Mencken (1880 – 1956)
Journalist – magazine editor

Gotta’ love Time magazine. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that 1977 cover and never noticed the secondary story line,”Beyond Detente: Why We Can Never Beat the Soviets.” I guess they forgot to tell that to Ronaldus Magnus.
