...After attempting to make heroes of such American complainers as Ralph Nader, Cesar Chavez, Daniel Ellsberg and the late Dr. Martin Luther King, the Eastern news establishment now seeks to deify Alexander Solzhenitsyn, formerly a complainer in the Soviet Union...
...sorts of poverty and teaching jobs. Put simply, there seems to be little ahead beyond more of the same. In response, students here and elsewhere are said to be burrowing back into their private lives: no one is interested in joining the Peace Corps now, and Ralph Nader is said to have trouble finding help.

In the face of fuel cutbacks and a growing resistance to new jetports, air travel is more parlous than ever. As the clickety-clackers have insisted for decades, there is no realistic alternative to mass transportation in the U.S. but the nation's once-magnificent railroad system. Even given the highly unlikely return of abundant fuel, the U.S. could not indefinitely tolerate or afford the poisonous pollution, cost, congestion, racket and uglification of a transportation system...
