Shiftless Schemers. The Japanese bear no grudge against Pinocchio himself, who in Collodi's tale is afflicted with disabilities enough before achieving his dream of becoming a flesh-and-blood boy. Their objections focus on the book's two ne'er-do-wells, the Fox and the Cat, shiftless schemers posing as mendicants who are lame (the Fox) and blind (the Cat), while merrily fleecing the gullible young puppet. By the end of the tale, the Cat is truly sightless and minus a paw, while the Fox does not fare too well either?he ends up thin, almost hairless...

...wrote some 140 years before Charles Reich sublet his leaky Consciousness III to follow the sunset to California. Reich's evolutionary rebellion is, in fact, a mobile-home version of Consciousness III-that pot-scented notion that mankind can somehow escape civilization and its discontents. Gnomic and unpolitical, ER is part of the new solipsism and characteristic of a lot of people who, disillusioned by the radical politics in the '60s, withdrew into the various styles of the "personal growth" movement.
