...display: chaos and mindless anarchy have rushed into the void cleared by the vague promise of freedom. The audiences seen here are the dark doppelgangers of Woodstock. Every face looks programmed and every movement emotionless, like a Stepford Wives vision of the hippiedom. Along with the Charles Manson bloodbath four months earlier, Altamont revealed the antipode of Woodstock's blissed-out flower children-the negative space on the other side of the spaces of freedom that the '60s opened...

...moment in the Lewinsky matter when Bill Clinton was making his sweatiest dodges about "inappropriate" behavior, that Bill Bennett, the saturnine Republican, phoned Joe Lieberman, the deeply religious Democrat. For several years Lieberman had been Bennett's partner in a fight against Jerry Springer, blood-spurting video games, Marilyn Manson and the general run of rap lyrics.
