...many years one of the most important ways of coping with this difficult situation has been to try to fuzz it over. Under the guise of civil libertarian reasoning, welfare organizations, both national and local, have tried to "wish away" race as a category, and this has had the latent function of concealing the extent to which discrimination continues. One of the early civil-rights activities of the Kennedy administration was to try to reverse this trend so that at least the government could be informed about the extent to which Negroes were disadvantaged.

Perhaps those of us heading for our dozenth look at the Beatles are becoming prepared to recognize such conventions in serious film; this would entail learning to "summarize" the emotion latent in a shot more hastily than we normally do, without suspending judgement so completely as we wait for the shot that follows...

If they are not inclined to take advantage of the new permissiveness, they may worry that they are latent homosexuals; if they do take advantage, they often discover that "intimacy without emotion," as U.C.L.A. Consultant Psychiatrist Robert Berns explains it, produces guilt rather than pleasure or fulfillment...
