...whatever there is in the "Organization Man" syndrome of modern sociology, do have different spiritual centers even if their everyday behavior seems tightly organized and compulsively conformist. The simple fact that most of us have genes and cultural traits acquired somewhere else than in America necessitates a fence-straddling approach to national identity. Norman Mailer, among others, has tried to speak to the American side of us, i.e., to the side that we have acquired since getting off the boat. Philip Roth, on the other hand, has attempted to bring us back to the boat while we sit, stagnant...
...other literature--has distinctly middle-class roots and oppressively middle-class problems. Everything that radicalism has run to has had a middle-class ogre at the other side of the room. The hippie counter-culture is only a step-by-step pursuit of opposites, rather than a one-step approach to novelty. So, if we are basically middle-class in our concerns, I would suggest that we have to define, concretize, and mitigate those concerns before we can hope to wander further afield in any direction...

To Hannah, the criticism is almost a compliment: "The object of the land-grant tradition was not to de-emphasize scholarship but to emphasize its application...
...PAIR of loud sonic booms shook the sky over the Atlantic Ocean last week, heralding the approach of Apollo 9 as it hurtled through the thickening atmosphere on its way home. Then, to the cheers of sailors on the deck of the helicopter carrier Guadalcanal, the heat-charred spacecraft floated down through the cloud cover and splashed into the water only three miles away. The triumphant ending to the ten-day, near-perfect mission of Apollo 9 cleared the way for the final U.S. thrust toward a manned landing on the moon...
