THE VITAL CENTER
by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr · Houghton Mifflin
With a new introduction by the author The Vital Center is an eloquent and incisive defense of liberal democracy against its rivals to the left and to the right, communism and fascism. It shows how the failures of free society had led to the mass escape from freedom and sharpened the appeal of totalitarian solutions. It calls for a radical reconstruction of the democratic faith based on a realistic understanding of human limitation and frailty.
WOMEN ARE HERE TO STAY
by Agnes Rogers · Harper
"Here is a pictorial account of what American women have been doing for the past fifty years or so, and why. Roughly chronological (but not troublesomely so), it depicts the Sheltered Lady of the early years of the century; the Companion and Rival to Man who shone in the middy-blouse era; the Flapper, Sophisticate, and Career Woman who dominated the nineteen-twenties; the Children of the Depression who longed for security; and the current product of the nineteen-forties--ex-WAACS, ex-WAVES, bobby-soxers, servantless housewives, and the rest." -- $c Book jacket.
