KINGSHIP, DEMOCRACY, THE RULE OF LAW,
AND THE BEST REGIME IN ARISTOTLE'S POLTIICAL PHILOSOPHY
Clifford Angell Bates, Jr. Ph.D.
IN MEMORY OF MELVIN E. BRADFORD
A TRUE DEFENDER OF THE REPUBLIC AND ITS CONSTITUTION
Soldiers, March! we shall not fight again
The Yankees with our guns well-aimed and rammed--
All are born Yankees of the race of men
And this, too, now the country of the damned.
Allan Tate, To the Lacedemonians 81-84.
