...York and they learn how much they have in common, I think that helps jell a nation. I really do." A convention can be a profession's jungle drums, an industry's family reunion, a young person's rite of passage into the adult world of commercial or professional comradeship. A convention can also be a fresh opportunity to display talent, knowledge, oratorical skill or sales records, to reaffirm one's wealth and worthiness in the eyes of the world. No wonder 26 million Americans this year have hastened to put on their badges, their funny hats and their broadest...

It was for that, for the memory of that time, that I hung on. For that I lived with the narrowness and the stupidity of the party." For others...
...loyalty of warrior to king celebrated in Anglo-Saxon poetry. But there is no single, unifying quest and, above all, no band of brothers for the reader to identify with as they struggle across a perilous land scape. No Hobbits either, with their lame jokes and sheer joy in comradeship and camping out in the countryside that helped keep things rolling, volume after volume, through the dry and brambly patches of the Rings cycle...
