...fireworks and songs had actually been a catalyst for something new. Washington's resident joy boys, Richard Scammon and Ben Wattenberg, who write on political moods, felt vindicated since they have said for years America was never as down as others insisted. "This country listened to Jerry Rubin too long," said Scammon. "We heard from the mass of America on July 4. They have always been this way." And Wallenberg: "All we had to do was to make it O.K. again to say, 'America is a great country...
Introspection: Vicki Rubin and Lydia Sargent try unsuccessfully to invent a personal form of dance to express their inner thoughts. Working with a company untrained in even the most basic modern dance forms, even the two pieces in the program which are drawn from a recognizable style ("Yearning" uses tap dancing) or on a communicable idea ("Taking a Walk" uses interesting combinations of men and women taking strolls together) don't work.

Who knows? Maybe it'll rain, or a baby will be born or something...
...like Philip Rahv, Paul Goodman, and Harold Rosenberg--as a group that "sought to declare themselves through a stringency of will, breaking clean from the immediate past and becoming autonomous men of the mind," as Howe does, is simply not convincing. And the description of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin as part of the long-standing Jewish tradition of "violent dissociation, postures of self-hatred and contempt for one's fathers" is surprising coming from Howe. The immigrants' tilt away from the collective vision and toward American materialism may not have been correct, but the dominance of theory over...
