In a democracy, no group is entitled to representation except to the extent that it competes effectively in an electoral process and in the marketplace of ideas.

The answer is to search for the occasional performance of contemporary works which find their proper milieu in our own twentieth century, instead of evoking the Europe or America of the eighteenth...
