The first tangible hint of American moral attitudes comes on the immigration form: the solemn requirement to swear that you are not a Communist, or not a prostitute, or whatever. To those coming from older and more cynical societies, this is the utmost sort of naivete. For the immigrant, it foreshadows the American conviction that one can mandate, even legislate morality.
