...Yankelovich survey in October 1972, shortly before Nixon's triumphant reelection. Then, 53% of the people had a positive feeling about the way things were progressing; now 71% feel that things are going badly. Watergate is a substantial factor in the shift, since 36% of the public now express concern about the scandal.

Instead, briefly, gracefully...

Heavy Traffic not only has an authentic tenement toughness but the rough feeling of unassimilated autobiography, of experiences and fantasies still keenly felt...
