Is There certainly is if the patient wants to be cured. After all, the trauma of the present is merely a shock wave of the past which has finally caught up with us. In some ways a sick society is like an alcoholic or a drug addict. It has to choose between the excruciating withdrawal pains on the one hand or the seductive on the other. euphoria of its own death-wis- h Some of us are old enough to remember the last cultural crisis the one that hit during the roaring twenties. The iconoclastic climate of that period was one of sex, booze, speculation, cynicism and crime. Washington became riddled with scandals. Bombs were sent tc top officials through the mails.

American diplomatic leadership finds itself shats of a new policy of political tered on the capitulation which requires the President to go hat in hand to plead for peace and understanding with some of the most vicious mentalities of the Communist world hierarchy. Government documents from the Pentagon are stolen and published to disclose the fact that politicians have been secretly plotting wars while publicly promreef-rock- ising peace. In a time of prosperity and military withdrawal, the American people suddenly find their President declaring a national emergency and invoking powers ordinarily reserved for times of war.
