Clay had been like a man driven by devils group had moved swiftly. - Tonight they were gathered around the little cooking fire and Clay was well aware that there was a new restlessness in the men Lopez had recruited. So far, they knew almost nothing of the details df the project in which they were engaged, and as they faced the barren reaches of the Jornada it was easy to see that at least some information must be given them if they were to continue. “You have all come with me this far,” he began, “without knowing exactly where we were going or why. Tomorrow we'll be in the Jornada and I think you should know what we are going to do there.” he san turn back now and the rest}no living, growing shrub or tree of us will go ahead.” Only when he had received a nod or a word of assent from every man did he allow himself to relax. ick agiroreregn iany grey oo the dying embers of the fire. “Let's call Their path the next day led them north and east from the crossing, away from the deeply eres wheel marks of the regul He pulled Jake pert rp wrinkled ma; handed it to Lopez. map.

Gingras (ANATOMY OF REVOLUTION by Crane Brinton, non-fiction, pub- lished by Prentice Hall, Inc., New York City, 324 pages.) The first ring of the September school bell sends adult readers scurrying to get hold of a bit of serious reading - something which smacks sufficiently of yesterday's high school or college textbook, and yet has a fresh outlook. This temporary enthusiasm for solid reading may last for a half dozen chapters or for a whole book, or it may prelude a winter of serious reading, In any event Crane Brinton’s latest book is a good suggestion to fill this need, and it offers food for thought to the average man, as well as to the scholar of history. _ The subject is revolution, a word eternally fascinating. Man always has within him seeds for revolt, tony of his scrambled eggs or the tax on his beer. And revolts of the large masses of human beings a- gainst restrictions or injustices have always been exciting parts of the historical record. Historians and novelists have both dwelled long and long on periods aflame even be it only against the mono- modern world, Mr. Muller says that most men today are too busy making gadgets, automobiles, de- pressions and wars to care much about anything older than the minutes of the last meeting. He al- so explains that while paradoxical- ly the ancients had a deep sense of the past, they had little understand- ing of it. Today historians are show- ing the significance of past events, and inAhese particular profiles. of yesterday’s important societies, the author indicates his search for a pattern or a lesson which can be meaningful in today’s crisis. Mr. Muller explains the situation of Thucydides, the most objective of ancient historians, as compared with our own: with revolution of one kind or an- | the other. In this book Crane Brinton puts revolution on the laboratory dis- secting table. With a scholarly | scalpel and a very readable style, jhe cuts into it muscle by muscle. | The bone structure of cataclysmic | breaks with the past are looked at through a microscope. | The English, French, American |and Russian are the revolutions | selected for the closest examina- | tion, In Crane Brinton's convincing | down and process of concentration | of power in the hands of a t; ‘dictator which follows each of j upheavals.
