...most Americans are "unyoung, unpoor and unblack." Street crime and the fear of young protestors are the most pressing issues on the minds of American voters in the 1970's, and politicians who fail to realize this will certainly be defeated. LBJ moderate columnists like John Roche and Evans-Novak beat their centrist drums on behalf of the book, and The Real Majority enjoyed the peculiar American honor of becoming more than a book.

In fact, Catholic liberals are going through a kind of radicalization, which may well force them to go beyond fadism. This summer, for example, Michael Novak, a radical Catholic journalist who is a key villain in Hitchcock's analysis, wrote an article for Harper's in which he lambasted American society for systematically excluding PIGS (Poles, Italians, Greeks and Slavs) from power.

In 1962 he married Mary Hayward Weir, the 40-year-old widow of the founder of the National Steel Corp., and Kosinski's life changed again.
