...test was so clearly positive as to make George Wallace envious. Cheers and rebel yells greeted Nixon, and home made signs assured him that he was warmly welcome. "Pat, you got a good man," said one sign. "Not many Republicans here, but lots of Nixoncrats," read another. When the President waded into the crowd to shake hands, he ignited a frenzy of affection unlike any thing seen in American politics since the campaign of the late Robert Kennedy.

(See John Updike's short story "The Christian Roommates" in his collection The Music School or, on a once-removed level read John Berth's The End of the Road. ) Despite, or maybe because of, our spurious elitism, we are an insecure bunch.
