These works, by Arizona's leading political scientist, seem to be a must this summer, though not for reading aloud at public meetings in Harlem. There they might unwittingly prove as unsettling as Malcolm X. Take the chapter in The Conscience of a Conservative which sets forth the evils created by the Welfare State. 'One of the great evils of Welfarism,' Senator Goldwater wrote, 'is that it transforms the individual from a dignified, industrious, self-reliant spiritual [his italics] being into a dependent animal creature without his knowing it.' This launches an original theory for the high incidence of juvenile delinquency and narcotics addiction in Negro ghettoes.
