  • Review of There Is No Mystery About Patents by William R. Ballard
    BOOK REVIEWS system to nothing more strenuous than a once-over-lightly. The style in which it is written is in keeping with this role. The wide use of staccato sentences, interesting asides, and snappy quotations prevent it from acquiring the ponderousness to which tax talk is susceptible. The book has more of a popular than an academic type of com- position. This raises the dilemma which is in the background throughout. A popular- ized treatment of federal taxation is not likely to satisfy those who have been initiated into the intricacies of the subject. On the other hand, streamlining is probably not enough to make the subject attractive to those not already fairly well acquainted with it. WALTER J.BLum* There Is No Mystery about Patents. By William R. Ballard. New York: J. M. Barrett, 1946. Pp. xv, :20. $2.00. This pocket-size treatise on patents owes its existence to a patent lawyer's belief that a concerted effort is being made by protagonists of "un-American theories" to undermine the patent system. Such theories could best be combated, it seemed, by presenting the fundamentals of the patent laws in language understandable to the layman. Hence this volume, which in large part is devoted to an attempt to show that various proposed substantive changes in the patent system are unnecessary and to suggest that the advocates of such changes have ulterior motives. However, Mr. Ballard's six-page postscript, which purports to deal with the administrative and pro- cedural aspects of the patent problem, discusses the faults of the patent system in language not appreciably different from that used by those whom he charges with re- sorting to any pretext to discredit the patent system.

How these myths are perpetuated is of particular interest when discussing the West because, as I will discuss at length, it is the means by which the myth is trafficked that has become the sign of the thing itself. The West therefore has become a mirror of its motivations — the shape shifting Terminator capable of adopting any form. What Debord called our society of spectacle has eclipsed the earlier orientation of a Christian heaven and redirected our focus away from the soul to the material pursuit and the game of identity makeover.
