“Beware in time. This is a breed which has changed little in thousands of years. The cave dweller who wielded a stone club and the man who will soon wield an interstellar missile are terribly alike. Earth's creatures feed upon each other, but this is the only one which kills on a large scale, for pleasure, adventure and even—so perverse is the species—for supposed reasons of morality.”
Collection of pieces which appeared between 1953 and 1961 in I.F. Stone's weekly, a one-man newsletter launched in some of America’s darkest years.
