Inquirer quotes socialist author Michael Harrington as saying
"most astonishing about W'gate is it represents triumph of amateurism.
Its principal cause of course is RN is a paranoid. This is something
way outside the normal burocratic tendency
So in a sense, W'gate is
a historical accident. 11 Rutgers political science chrm McWilliams adds
he's appalled by W'gate's "incredible triviality.
It had no grace, no
style, and even if it had been a successful burglary -- virtually
nothing was at stake.
What we're really dealing w/now is political
ambition brought to the level of achieving nothing more than a kind of
super suburban dream of success - - a big house w/all the trimmings in
San Clemente, vacation place in Fla. near playboy millionaire Rebozo. "
