...Enquirer. "I had two nervous breakdowns, lived on drugs-even contemplated suicide." This kind of journalism has a lineage in England and America going back to scandal sheets for scullery maids. However bold the headlines, much that appears is a souped-up version of news already in the public domain. But you knew that already, didn't you? How much should you trust similarly sensational news stories about the Kennedys or the CIA that turn up in rock journals, underground papers, skin magazines and other new frontiers of enterprising journalism...

They had, consequently, all the advantage of possession of the field when the contest began, and they have disputed every step of our invasion of their original domain so persistently and successfully that we can even yet scarcely flatter ourselves that we have gained any very important advantage over them.

Last week the National Park Service estimated that there were 9 million campers and sightseers in their domain, a 25% increase over last year. For some 936,000 college students who will get their bachelor's degrees by the end of June, graduation ceremonies, held against the backdrop of a tranquil nation, suggested more hope (and challenge) than at any time in several years...
