Notes

1. To be distinguished, however, from Smith's overreaching on the point. I concluded my earlier comment: “If one were asked to reduce American liberal culture to a single principle of momentum, it would be resistance to established hierarchy. For new situations, inspiration might well be sought in other directions.” Smith transposes these words as Orren's “insisting … that the ‘single principle of momentum’ of American political culture is ‘resistance to established hierarchy,’” a posture Smith deems “peculiar” and potentially supportive of “dangerous complacency.” In any case, he says, it is a conclusion my “meager evidence” has not “earned.” See note 1 in my comment above on the occasion for this affront to natural justice.
