Vann Woodward New York Times Book Review) The crank and his following have attracted a gifted historian in Richard Hofstadter.His account stands as the most balanced and authoritative analysis we have of a formidable and apparently permanent force in American politic. The flow of angry words seems to have activated and, in a sense, legitimized what the historian Richard Hofstadter called the `paranoid strain' in American politics. The Republican Party has apparently embarked on a crusade to destroy national standards, national projects, and national regulations and to transfer domestic governing authority from the national government to the states.Unbridled rhetoric is having consequences far beyond anything that antigovernment politicians intend. Recent months have witnessed an attack of unprecedented passion and ferocity against the national government.
