		The current Almanac of American Politics says: "He speaks for attribution to few national or local reporters, hardly ever appears on television and rarely speaks in the House chamber." That reticence has disappeared the last seven months, as he became one of the party's most visible faces.

	GEOFFREY KURTZ -- REVIEW OF POWER AND THE IDEALISTS -- LOGOS 5.1 WINTER 2006
		The fear behind the politics of 1968, as Berman tells the story, was at bottom a moral self-doubt.
		Berman traces the political and intellectual careers of several ‘68ers, but the central figure of his story is Bernard Kouchner.
		Fischer's failing, Berman invites us to conclude, was not that he remained faithful to the politics of 1968, but that he broke that faith: we could say that he set his street-fighting days behind him just when Berman thinks street-fighting of another sort is called for.
