TIME seems unduly concerned over the renaissance of liberalism in the U.S. As a Canadian, I find myself in almost complete agreement with the Supreme Court decisions, in particular, the Watkins case.

...most conspicuous U.S. body manipulator, Elvis ("The Pelvis") Presley, says Birdwhistell, "is most successful with the two-to-four-year-olds, and 12-to-14-year-olds, because he joins them in a particular kind of mockery of serious adulthood. Presley's wiggles seem almost an imitation of an imitation of being sexy. That's why so many in the audience laugh and puritans react so violently. Presley is making a mockery of something they regard seriously...
