1 After the present essay was completed, the U. N. Special Committee on the Question of Defining Aggression agreed upon a draft definition of the word, submitting it for adoption by the General Assembly at its September, 1974 session. The draft is divided into eight articles containing seventeen paragraphs, too lengthy for quotation here. Article 1 begins: “Aggression is the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another state or in any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations, as set out in this definition” (New York Times, April 13, 1974, p. 6Google Scholar). Details on the history of the Special Committee may be found in numerous official publications such as Yearbook of the United Nations 1971, v. 25 (United Nations, N. Y.: Office of Public Information, United Nations, 1974), pp. 597601Google Scholar.

5 Speaking of the active, revivalist phase of mass movements, Hoffer states that this phase is dominated by the “true believer” defined as “the man of fanatical faith who is ready to sacrifice his life for a holy cause.” Hoffer, Eric, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements (New York: Harper and Brothers, 1951), p. 10Google Scholar.

6 The “friends and neighbors effect” is Key's phrase for a powerful localism in Alabama factionalism where “candidates for state office tend to poll overwhelming majorities in their home counties and to draw heavy support in adjacent counties.” Key believes this “points to the absence of stable, well-organized, state-wide factions of like-minded citizens formed to advocate measures of common concern.” Key, V. O., Southern Politics in State and Nation (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1949), p. 37Google Scholar.

7 The idea of employing the word “democracy” to connote the ideal and “polyarchy” the real, the latter to serve as a measure of achieving the former appears first in Dahl, Robert A. and Lindblom, Charles E., Politics, Economics, and Welfare: Planning and Politico-Economic Systems Resolved into Basic Social Processes (New York: Harper & Row, 1953), pp. 272323Google Scholar. Dahl has reintroduced “polyarchy” instead of the word “pluralism” in the latest edition of his text, Dahl, Robert A., Democracy in the United States: Promise and Performance, 2d ed.
