As we look about at the society we are to serve, one of its significant intellectual characteristics is an inability to give sustained public attention to any problem.

We would be incapable today of getting substantial public following of the entire proceedings of a constitutional convention and we could never get a modern serial on government like the “Federalist” widely read.
