This article focuses on the law and order situation in the U.S. The breakdown of electricity or an acute water shortage so paralyzes any large community that each citizen becomes helplessly aware of the basic service he has always taken for granted. Today in U.S. people are suffering from a far greater breakdown-that of the basic processes of civilized Law. For when the U.S. President issued his Loyalty Order he also set the strongest possible precedent for accepting guilt by association and permitting conviction without cross-examination of the accuser by the accused.
