I thought it was just that one specific Talleyrand quote as it
ironically applied to Weed's unwillingness or inability to react to the
ideas issuing from the young militants. It reminds me of George Bush's
failure to emit any vocal reaction in his early meetings with Paul
O'Neill. (as described on sixty minutes and in the press yesterday)
