...Without Marx or Jesus, a Succes de scandale in France and a best seller stateside, Jean-Francois Revel proposes that America owns an exclusive option on the Age of Aquarius. But his flaccid prose, chaotic presentation, and unsupported generalizations fail to convince me. After rejecting the idea of America as a fascist and imperialist state, he ends up creating an equally far-fetched image. He tries to prove that the United States possess all the necessary preconditions for the world revolution: an obsession with modernity, unrestricted access to information, and an army of radical crusaders. Along the way he solemnly...
...During the price freeze, when car sales in the U.S. posted a record, purchases of Ambassadors, Hornets and Javelins fell below 1970 levels.

According to an article in the current Esquire it's not the masses of common folk who've been denied exposure to Jonathan Edwards, but strategically placed flunkies from the movie conglomerates who want to use "BASED ON THE NUMBER-ONE BEST SELLER!" to hype their pictures. And so if exposure to an evening of TV commercials promoting acrosol sprays to be aimed at seven different crucial bodily junctions doesn't convince you of the role of corporate capitalism in fomenting the ongoing crisis of taste in America, you might take a look at the current...
...even worse movie, The Love Machine, based on an even better seller by Jacqueline Susann, charts the rise and fall of a libidinous television executive. Robin Stone (John Phillip Law) is first discovered broadcasting the local news by his boss's wife (Dyan Cannon), who has a kind of pelvic instinct for talent. She passes some heavy hints along to hubby (Robert Ryan), who sees Stone as the right man to boost the ratings.When hubby suffers his executive coronary, Stone slips right into his chair and his bed. His insatiable and some-what kinky appetites, however, get him into...
