<br />revolution that it always remains inconclusive. II
<br />"',SO is it true of the American RevoJ.ution _~_ our experiment
<br />
<br />.' ,
<br />in Democracy remains inconclusive. It is en open question whether
<br />the. Democracy we 'have learned to know and cherish "lill survi V8
<br />the ehalienge of gro"ing concentration of our population,and the
<br />growing co~centration of power in. the communication and

<br />
<br />. Not only are the national expo.r5.ments in revolutIon In MexIco
<br />and the UnIted States of AmerIca inconclusIve, but so is the hwnan
<br />experiment on this planet. Some of th~ prophet~ of doom have .
<br />declared,that the Day of Judgment will fall on Friday, the 13th
<br />or Novembel'of the year 2026, the date on I<hichthere "iU,be. no .
