...enlarged version of the myth he'd been caught up in and was obliquely courting for those few years: martyred underground hero, burning star across the long American night, harbinger of the "New Morality," the Counter Culture's John the Baptist. And he's a million dollar property. A paperback primer entitled The Essential Lenny Bruce sells all over the country.

Others view Christian life as a "sign of contradiction" in a pagan civilization-to see their role as an example of selfless living in a selfish world. "The council...
