4. This phrase is from Bret Stephens, ‘Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Attack on the Media as Mere Stupidity,’ the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture, UCLA, Feb. 18, 2017. Time.com/4675860.

5. The Rockefeller Institute is an economic think-tank. In ‘Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy,’ they set out a program that combined narrative history and a policy platform toward ameliorating inequality and fostering long-term coherent economic thinking much drawn upon by Clinton’s campaign as well as Elizabeth Warren. They also had an ‘appointments project’ that would have reached deep across the nation to help find candidates for federal positions to change the country’s balance of power via regulation against consolidated power.

7. Gayatri Spivak’s rather notorious ‘strategic essentialism’ is my model here. For discussion of this key concept, see chapter 3 of Gayatri Spivak: In Other Words, Sangeeta Ray, Oxford: John Wiley, 2009.

9. The ‘No Nothing’ movement was a national political party in the mid-1850’s dedicated to purifying America from immigrants, at that time Irish and German Catholics that they feared were controlled by the Pope. Its name relates to its semi-secret organizational structure about which members were to say ‘I know nothing’ if asked about its activities by outsiders.

11. This is complicated by ‘abortion-rights absolutism’ (Eberstadt, in same issue of Time), where anti-choice women marching was officially denied.
