When dawn came next morning, they ripped off seat covers and put on rugby uniforms over their light summer-weight clothes for extra warmth. Pieces of tinted glass from plane windows became sunglasses against the snow glare. On a transistor radio hooked up to the plane's only working battery, they heard that a search had begun.

A photograph of Sarris which appeared sometimes on Voice ads showed a rough looking character with a pugnacious glare, decorating a dingy sidewalk with a middle aged version of the James Dean slouch. He was the perfect role model for misfits who used suspicion of general culture to alibi for their own lack of discipline. In Confessions of a Cultist in 1970. Sarris admitted that he had inadvertently modeled a career...
