Against the Manichaeans
John Schmalzbauer in Books & Culture reviews Decade of Nightmares: The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America by Philip Jenkins.
Arguing that both the Right and the Left "have adopted a worldview based on fears of subversion and predation," Jenkins criticizes the dualistic rhetoric of American politics. Refusing to engage in culture-war polemics, he recognizes with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn that "the line between good and evil runs through each human heart."¶ 3/31/2006 10:39:00 AM
