...victims' renown and the criminals' audacity, affluent Washingtonians feel like the terrorized citizenry in an outlaw-ruled old-frontier town. So many people refuse to stay out late that the National Theater has moved up its curtain time one hour to 7:30 p.m. No longer is it necessary to reserve a table for dinner at a fashionable downtown restaurant...
Meantime, the acceptance of psychiatry has taught Americans to be more tolerant than before of unusual behavior. Eccentricity means, literally, to be off-center. But in the permissive society, where almost anything goes, eccentricity no longer stands out against any dominant "center."

It serves a new constituency and a new purpose now: it is the National Center for Afro-American Artists. Last Friday in the auditorium of the Yeshiva, the National Afro-American Center presented its first Black Film Festival...
...something that had once made me laugh. Here was one more thing that was no longer a positive experience for me. Just as seeing the Indians get slaughtered by the Cavalry is no longer something I clap...
