A BOOK FOR TODAY
SocioIogist Sizes Up Mankind
By DONALD MINTZ

standingly illustrated by most ,
American models . . likable
types like the goodfellow and
smoothie are easily simulated
by people who do not really
have the good will implied by
the role the models are
so diverse and contradictory
that they do not favor con-
Sensus as to basic values or
roles required Of all" and
finally "the functions of
many models seem to have
shifted from the normal one
Of holding up an ideal that
people are trying to achieve,
to compensating people for
lack Of these qualities
OUR GOOD JOE is not q.
very stirring hero. and If any
thing, he is deteriorating still
further. At the same time,
mockery Of the hero Is in
creasing. At this point, con-
fusion becomes rampant.
The difficulty Is that
m0ckery can be either good
or bad depending on circum-
stances. II q given occupant
Of q high place is o fool or q
knave. it is healthy to make
fun Of him. II not, this kind
OF sport can be mere rock
throwing for its own sake.
Then it is anything but salu-
tary. Prof. Klapp thinks that
we need some kind Of
screening Of the kinds Of
people presented in the hero's
role" But ne wisely refrains
from pursuing this line very
far. After all, he is not Plato.
What do we do about It?
Diagnosticians - and Prof.
Klapp is one - rarely say.
He suggests that "the very
first thing to arrest the drift
is to check the compass, re-
fer to the chart and set the
course. In this book" he
says. II have tried to do some
Of the charting necessary"
This is not much. But those
who would do better must be-
gin by meeting the asSump-
ton that we dc not as yet
have enough information to
undertake more.

hEHOES, VILLAINS, AND
FOOLS: The Changing
American Character. BY
Orrin E. Klapp. 176 pp.

soft covers as a Spectrum

Orrin e. Klapp is a pro-
fessor Of sociology at San
Diego State College and
Heroes. Villains, and Fools
is q more or less technical
study. #
Humor and vilification di-
rected at technical language
are poor things in general,
for their victim is neither
funny nor discreditable. So
Geological jargon may be the
grand exception. In the first
place 1t Is eSthetically and
linguistically appalling.
Worse. no two sociologists
agree as to what it means.
Anyone who reads Heroes,
Villains, and Fools" will have
to pay close attention as
Prof. Klapp fires salvos Of
definitions at his colleagues

barricades.
Is 1t worth it? It probably
is. At the moment we seem
so perplexed about the nature
Of our own national char
acter that we are interested
in any analysis Of it that
promises insight.
PROF. KLAPP states his
position in the first few para
graphs: "The main purpose
Of this book is to survey the
major social types Of Ameri-
can society which serve
prominently as its models.
By models, I mean images
that guide people positively
by imitation or negatively by
avoidance. Major role-models
are called heroes, villains
and fools. From such a sur
vey, we get a look at q role
network Of types. an impor-
tant part Of the structure Of
our society, that is not, I
think, to be obtained any
other way.
1.-THE second undertaking
is to interpret the various
types for what they may tell
or suggest about us as a peo-
pie. While ] do not think
social types are a crystal ball,
they are important symbols
made by people: and the only
way to attack a symbol is
through its meaning in vari-
Gus contexts. Meanings have
to be supplied by somebody,
and I tell what I see in them
in the light Of what other
people have seen In them. T"
The first part Of the book
is devoted to describing the
principal types Of heroes.
villains and fools as our
society views them. No one
who has been awake during
the last decade win learn q
great deal here. but the pri-
mary purpose Is simply to
make sure that one under
stands the premises on which
the second section Is based.
Next, Prof. Klapp seeks to
determine which social types
are dominant and what
changes seem to be occurring
in the hierarchy.
The American ideal, as he
sees 1t, is expressed in the
"cult Of the Good joe" The
trouble with this is that
"the bulk Of positive models
are not much, If any, better
than the average man =.

To enjoy freedom of the mind it was
necessary to leave the Soviet Union.
Before leaving Russia I often thought
of the words of the poet Pushkin in his
verse, ''To My Wife,
''For a long time 1, a tired slaoe, had
thought to flee to a far a'cay peaceful
place to sOOrk and to rest"

Soviet issteIlecfss0ls: eUsbifteTed
My experience is that intellectuals in
particular hold the United States and Brit
ain in high regard. Scientists returning
from abroad have only praise for what they
have seen. and the feeling Of freedom that
they sense everywhere.
Irecall some time ago hearing man in
working clothes at kiosk in Moscow say
ing to the newsdealer, ''I'll have one of
these Aggressors'. He took copy of the
magazine ''Amerika,' which is distributed
by the us. State Department. The broad
smiles he and the newsdealer exchanged
indicated clearly that both took the Soviet
propaganda line with grains of salt. Today,
however, ''Amerika" is available only to
senior Russian officials, and copies are
passed from hand to hand many times.
The Russian people are intensely inter-
ested in what is going on abroad. The fact
that surreptitious means must often be
used to get at the truth is what -disgusts
thinking people. Intellectuals, especially,
suffer from sense of Illustration. There is

helped immensely if you will focus your
eyes just above, rather than directly on the

The second quite obviously man with veteran quail

"Why give'm whatever they want-what else ?"
This confirmed the Leagues belief that when

The two and half hours spent with Mrs Bolton were
very revealing Speaking with her customary candor and
many times saying that she merely giving her
personal opinion nevertheless the afternoons interview
gave everyone insight into the scope of the 22nd
Districts Congressional representative Her many of
experience have served her well; the fact remains she
