One \n clue may be found in the almost total lack of citation of authority. In \n an earlier work, Douglas said: \"Since I have written for laymen, no foot- \n notes or citations have been included.\"20 If laymen are also the target of \n Points of Rebellion, what is the likelihood that the book will hit the \n mark? Certainly those who are already unhappy with various aspects of \n present life in America will take comfort in the knowledge that an \n associate justice of the United States Supreme Court apparently shares \n many of their views. The reader may conclude, however, that the \n author has a broader goal; after all, the dire prediction of possibly \n violent revolution indicates a desire to change the minds of many per- \n sons so that violence will become unnecessary. And yet it is difficult to \n believe that this book will change many minds. When Justice Douglas \n says that \"the powers-that-be faintly echo Adolf Hitler, who said in \n 1932: . . . 'We need law and order,' \"21 he forces the uncommitted or \n indifferent to choose between the \"powers-that-be\" (\"Establishment\"?) \n and himself. If it is unfair to liken the \"powers-that-be,\" whoever they \n are, to Adolf Hitler, or if it appears to the uncommitted to be unfair, \n are not the uncommitted likely to side with the \"powers-that-be\"? \n Anyone can emote. Most people expect more of an associate justice \n of the United States Supreme Court. \n Robert P.
