Since you seem intent on knocking Bork on this point, you probably won't, but just in case you are interested in approaching this on an intellectually honest level, I'd encourage you to read the book.

Actually I do not know him that well, which is why I noted his use of the words "radical individualism" versus just individualism. Obviously anything can be taken to an extreme, so as long as he does not believe "society" trumps indivdualism, I am Ok with that.

That's essentially Bork's contention as well...that things have been taken to extremes and the traditional concept of "personal liberty" has been perverted into some grotesque form of personal license.
