[Peace-discuss] Resistible Rise

[C. G. Estabrook]

Shortly before he died in 1989, the eminent American writer Robert Penn
Warren, author of All The King's Men, a novel about a democratic demagogue
and dictator, was asked if he foresaw another president with too much
power.

"Well, it'll probably be someone you least expect under circumstances
nobody foresaw," he said. "And, of course, it'll come with a standing
ovation from Congress."
