Doc Searls cited

Hannah Arendt’s excellent though deeply flawed masterwork, The Origins of Totalitarianism yesterday, correctly suggesting that it’s worth a re-read in the current context. Doc: “…it deals with verities I think we need to factor into our convesations about the War on Terrorism, whatever that is.” He’s right, it does. I studied it several years ago and even had the opportunity to have dinner with her former student and intellectual biographer Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, and I totally agree with Doc that it deserves to be read again.
