...been a sustained success story, with few setbacks. This has bred the conviction that what works for America must necessarily be best for others. However, some of its influential thinkers have challenged prevalent assumptions. Poets and playwrights are curiously tentative, if not pessimistic. Young Americans roam in search of new values. Public self-questioning and a capacity for self-correction are indeed among the graces of the American temper...

Yet all seem too well known to roam the streets of Washington at odd hours, and it is difficult to imagine, say, the dignified Haig lurking in a garage at 3 a.m. or furtively filching Woodward's New York Times by 7 a.m. to draw a clock face on page 20 indicating the hour they would meet...
