Power Dynamics in Perceptions of Justice
Charles Tobin Very pretty speech - youthful, passionate, idealistic. Need I remind you that you are the fugitive from justice, not I. I'm a prominent citizen, widely respected.

Critique of Complacency in American Society
Charles Tobin You're one of the ardent believers - a good American. Oh, there are millions like you. People who play along, without asking questions. I hate to use the word stupid, but it seems to be the only one that applies. The great masses, the moron millions. Well, there are a few of us unwilling to troop along... a few of us who are clever enough to see that there's much more to be done than just live small complacent lives, a few of us in America who desire a more profitable type of government. When you think about it, Mr. Kane, the competence of totalitarian nations is much higher than ours. They get things done.

Negotiating with danger and deception

[to Patricia as they dance at a party full of Nazi sympathizers]
Desire and Power: A Personal Perspective

Loneliness and Timing in Autumn
