 Arsenault v. Crossman
Crossman contends that the hardship provision of § 1502-D does not permit relief to one bearing the burden imposed by Rule 68.
As a result of such conflict, Crossman suggests that the rule "trumps the statute." We conclude that Rule 68 and section 1502-D can be read together to avoid any conflict and thereby avoid the need to resort to Rule 81(e).
Crossman argues that while Rule 54(d) makes reference to both the statute and the rules that apply to costs, and states that costs are awarded "unless the court otherwise specifically directs," Rule 68 makes no mention of either the statute or discretion of the court, and thus neither applies.

 New Statesman: The paradox of Tony Blair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In a diary entry for 24 September 1966, Richard Crossman, who had served nearly two years as a Labour cabinet minister, observed that the idea of giving people a chance to decide things for themselves - the essence of social democracy to his mind - was "extremely unpopular" with most of his colleagues.
Crossman's view of democracy can be traced back, through the popular radicals of the middle and late 19th century and the Chartists of the 1830s and 1840s, to civil-war polemicists such as John Milton and James Harrington.
Authority was not delegated, he argued, by the electorate to parliament, and then by parliament to the government, as 19th-century liberal commentators had imagined.

 Reason: Rose-Colored Glasses: What even disillusioned Marxists missed
Its essays of political disillusionment by eminent authors -- Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone, Richard Wright, Stephen Spender, Louis Fischer, and André Gide -- portray the varied appeal of communism to its intellectual devotees.
The contributors make vivid and credible the growing ambivalence of their involvement in the interwar communist movement, the cognitive dissonance of remaining allied long after they should have recognized the betrayal of their ideals, and the pain and ethical necessity of their final break.
Fortunately, as Crossman saw it, "two world wars and two totalitarian revolutions" had taught the Western democracies the need for democratic central planning.
