Yale has undergone a cultural transformation. Its response to the trends of the Sixties has finally put it on the map. "Yale Chic" bombards the public everywhere. Its heroes--Brewster, Reich, Segal, Coffin, Cavett, Doonesbury--have become nationwide personalities through the bestseller lists, the New York Times Sunday Magazine, late-night talk shows and daily comics...
From this prominence, unfortunately, it is all downhill. Condon was never a satirist: he was a riot in a satire factory. He raged at Western civilization and every last one of its works.

Beneath the extravagances he is a shrewd polemicist out to score a fair rebuttal point: that America is not as bad as most Europeans-and many Americans-think it is. In other words, the New World is still a source of revolutionary hope. But the modern sin of overstatement runs away with Revel. Before he can stop, he is dreaming of a revolution that will spread from the U.S. by "a sort of political osmosis" until it arrives at its logical conclusion: "world...
