§ §
The
basic problem is, we have a system, then, with a lot of people who don't know
what it means to be accountable to the public. The Congress is the enemy, just
as the press is the enemy. And the public is seen by members of the Executive in
general as the great beast, treacherous, ignorant, irrational, not to be
respected, either individually or in the mass.

only effective restraint upon the executive policy and power in the areas
of national defense and international affairs
