...less willing to discuss issues? Perhaps the issues today are too painful for Americans to be honest with themselves about. The war, poverty, racism, etc., draw sharply uncomfortable contrasts between our professed ideals and our country's recent policies and actions. Nixon's America seems neither candid nor even curious about the root causes of these national failures of the "American Dream...
