Consider, then, this recent observation by Richard Nixon, a man not generally noted for his iconoclasms: "I know the job I have is supposed to be the most difficult job in the world. But it has not yet become for me that great, awesome burden that some have described it." His actions seem to support the words.

The good guys are portrayed as sensitive loner types: they know grass isn't addictive: they're nice to girls: they wouldn't hurt anybody. The bad guys are resentful barbarians, who pick on the good guys for no reason and make stupid jokes ("They look like a bunch of refugees from a gorilla love-in.") Easy Rider's tacked...
