It's interesting, then, that this particular issue I'm looking at, which somehow escaped banishment, should be exerting such a strong pull on me at the moment. Maybe it's just an accident. But I'm starting to worry, perhaps with a tinge of excitement mixed in, whether some of the verities on which I self-consciously reconstructed my worldview as an undergraduate are in danger of crumbling in the face of the massive pressures of the present conjuncture. More likely, my political thinking is just in need of some adjustments, rather than a wholesale overhaul. I've often found it productive to read work whose basic premises I reject on principle. I do feel like I'm going to have to pull the issue off the shelf and give it a look, though, as troubling as its contents may prove.
