JS Rise in the serious belief in actors as "profound thinkers" and "truthful people" Perfect political candidate of the future seen as a black medical doctor of one-third Indian background who is a successful actor. Emphasis on ancient rather than contemporary history noted. Manfred von Richthofen ("Red Baron") cited as example of a "spectacular character" who created classic aerial tactic formations in WW.I Discussion of theories about the final defeat of the Red Baron.
