| | Ahead of his troops | Explanation:
A literal (perhaps too literal suggestion):
"Ahead of his troops", eg.
"Friends of the Earth and the Earth Island Institute. But questions about the real meaning of his downfall--which happened again at FOE--reverberate still. Does Brower get too far ahead of his troops, who can't see that the issues driving him transcend the bottom line? "
