Luminous Common Sense

DAVID McCORD WRIGHT

This reviewer has always been handicapped by a prejudice in favor of reading books before reviewing them. In the present instance (The Fabric of Society, by Ralph Ross and Ernest van den Haag, Harcourt, Brace $10.00), the sheer bulk of the work has defeated me. I have not, to be honest, as yet read every word of this study. But the highest compliment I can pay the authors is to say that it is not lack of interest that has deterred me, and that I am anxious to complete the job.
