Even if Coleman won't make any grand judgements on the system that has supported him, he ought to allow others to attain his personal dream of wholeness. In the detachment of his Haverford office, Coleman certainly should reflect on the masses of workers who have never had the opportunity to exercise their minds for a couple of months in, say, the rigors of running a college. Naturally he ought to step down for a spell to give them all a chance to write White-Collar Journals and achieve some sense of regained self. But of course, as Coleman notes...

Not that vision is outmoded.

The music itself, at least as purveyed by many of the superstars of Nashville and Bakersfield, has a vanilla sameness to it that often does not reflect the pain and sorrow of the words. The voices of the singers are often less charged with emotion than their blues and rock counterparts. Most male country stars have deep bass baritones that seem to say: this man sits tall in the saddle. Women stars tend to have bright, unstrained sopranos-or a Lynn Anderson land of nasal chirpiness-that rule out not only women's lib but any other...
