...presented historically as stages in a familiar pageant entitled, "How America went wrong . . . and the rebirth of human values that is emerging in the new generation." For Reich weighs the American past and finds it wanton. The Consciousness I period is associated with the young Jeffersonian Republic-freedom-loving, egalitarian, expansive, democratic, though lamentably competitive. Its spirit stifled slowly, as America evolved into another political caricature, the pinched, repressive, committee-loving, life-suppressing, reform-minded meritocracy, which Reich seems to regard as something very like Hell on Earth.

...Hanoi was largely evacuated during the bombing. I don't know how many people are there now, but I would guess it's less than half a million. Hanoi is quiet and clean. People look healthy and are simply but adequately dressed. It appears to be an extremely egalitarian society. One day we were out walking through Hanoi and the head of the Friendship Committee, who is also a professor of Fine Arts, came by on a bicycle just like everybody else. When we talked with Pham Van Dong there were no guards. We met him alone...
