...over the Palmer Raids and the repression of the IWW in telling of Woodrow Wilson's greatness, will similarly beautify their accounts of the Johnson administration. But that is why people who are trying to understand the world, and to change it, have never had much use for the mainstream American rewriting of history. Frank Ackerman
...modern times, much of mainstream Protestant scholarship has virtually dismissed the idea of a real Second Coming, preferring to view the apocalyptic literature as a metaphor, a prefiguring of an eventual victory of Christ's redemptive power over the forces of evil.

...Protestant denominations, according to current conventional wisdom, are steadily losing membership. But the truth of the matter depends on the denomination. Year-end statistics show yet another notable decline in the membership of the mainstream United Methodist Church, but a remarkable gain for the evangelical Southern Baptist Convention.

Then New York believed in its manifest destiny; it had become the new Paris, or even Imperial Rome. The "mainstream" ran through New York. And it seemed by mid-decade that virtually everyone with something to invest was blundering about in its turbid flood like a shark, snapping up artworks. The culmination of this process was "Henry's show," a huge and partial exhibition called "New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970" that...
