WHILE these stories certainly reveal a great deal about America and the people who live here, they do start to sound a little bit corny after a while. (If you read More Like Us in a very still room, you can hear "God Bless America" playing softly in the background.) Still, the American Dream is a hard thing to write about without doing too much flag-waving, and Fallows manages to survive with some degree of objective credibility when he writes about these people who have made the American Dream come true for them...

George Palmer, a former state-appeals-court judge, and Samuel Dash, famed Senate counsel during the Watergate hearings, last week took the stand on Rose's behalf to endorse that view.

This Supreme Court must not even read the newspapers." Busby plans to monitor the July 4th festivities across the nation. If the flag burners come out in force, there could be quite a political ruckus and possibly a constitutional amendment in less time than it takes to sing The Star-Spangled Banner...
