Where is the intelligentsia that is carrying on the big discourse of
the Western world and whose work as intellectuals is influential among
parties and publics and relevant to the great decisions of our time? Where
are the mass media open to such men? Who among those in charge of the
two-party state and its ferocious military machines are alert to what goes
on in the world of knowledge and reason and sensibility? Why is the free
intellect so divorced from decisions of power?
