...peak in a tuft of hair. A foldable top lip falls to a point, the mountainous nose above and a wing collar binding neckless jowls threaten to envelop the pyramidal brain. Mouths snarl from monstrous faces, others just venture a gawky grin. Yet Daumier models even the most hideous mask with humor...
...renewal of anxiety. Little, after all, has been done since April 4, 1968, to extirpate racism or to clothe with reality King's dream of social justice.

Has the American Dream become the American damnation, a formula for selfishness rather than equality and excellence? British Historian Sir Denis Brogan flatly states: "This is not going to be the American century. Very few people are enamored of the American way of life." Arthur Krock expresses a visceral fear that...
