    “I’m getting bored with it,
    I tell the typewriter,

    stamped in red over the word HOPE.”

    Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
    That they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger
    To sound what stop she please.”

    “Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
    —Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
