Points of Rebellion
By William 0. Douglas, Vintage Paperback, $1.95
The words in this book hit hard,
but they carry even more weight when we
consider who wrote them. Countless such
words have been written by radical journalists
and self proclaimed revolutionaries throwing
bricks at the temple of the establishment. But
this book was written by one of the
establishment elite, one who sits within the
temple.
Douglas, the best known of the
liberal United States Supreme Court justices,
speaks out intelligently and forcefully for the
many faceted revolution that is occurring in
our society. And he speaks without the four
letter, name calling rhetoric of underground
media. The book hits just as hard without it.
In the span of 96 short pages
Douglas does a remarkable job of covering the
whole scope of the revolution. The work is a
concise handbook of the revolution, describ
ing the reasons for dissent and how our
country views dissent, and then suggesting
what may be done to avoid violent confront
ation.
He says: "There are only two
choices: A police state in which all dissent is
suppressed or rigidly controlled; or a society
where law is responsive to human needs."
And he adds "if society is to be responsive to
human needs, a vast restructuring of our laws
is essential." The book says that without such
restructuring of our society, violent revolu
tion will sweep our land.
Everyone should read this book.
While the points covered are not new, the way
they are brought together, out of the storm of
information that bombards us everyday, and
laid down to be ingested at one time gives the
reader a shock. But it's good therapy.

The Journey To The East has
recieved criticism from those who enjoy
Herman Hesse's works as well as those who
accuse him of being adolescent and trite. To
the members of Herman's Circle, it can only
be the testimony of one who is very close to
his journeys' end.
The story concerns an individual,
Herman Hesse, who has become separated
from the League of Journeys. This League
could be compared to Herman's Circle
mentioned above. Bach, Gothe, Goldmun,
Demion, Jung, and many other outsiders were
introduced to Hesse as his soul wandered
down the mythical pathways which transcend
time. Herman Hesse himself, has become
separated from the league by disillusionment
and lack of faith. He is finally reunited with
the Journeyers as a result of the re-unification
of his own self. The marriage of all faction of
the self, or the thousand faces of the
Steppenwolf, is a major theme which runs
throughout Hesse's works.
His poetical novels all border on
autobiography, but none are so clear and
direct as the Journey To The East. It is
written in the stage of Hesse's personal letters
because those who hear it will become his
personal friends.
