...assume a role in a morality play, a ritual drama in which Americans expect him to slay evil. That idea goes back to the founders' exultant belief that America was truly God's country, the nation charged with the task of proving that a free society could thrive. This belief lingers, and it is not confined to assertive patriots. Consciously or unconsciously, it is shared by the country's harshest critics, including the New Left, whose very anger is based partly on the assumption that the U.S. should be near-perfect, a working Utopia...
...Ives. This quietude is conscious; the Fogg has resisted the kind of publicity New York's Metropolitan Museum gained from its disclosure of the forged Greek horse, and it is unlikely to sponsor Alan Kaprow's next happening.

Nonetheless, McGregor remains philosophical. The Africans are mean, and "they do sting like hornets, " he says. "But after all, we've learned to live with hornets, haven...
Lichtheim's comments on German history, then, will serve as a nice demonstration of his fundamental idealism. "The basic fact about German history since the eighteenth century," we are told, "has been the failure of the Enlightenment to take root." Why did it fail to thrive? In an essay entitled "The European Civil War," we learn that "national attitudes in the three countries [France, Germany and Italy] were different, and that the difference went back to the impact of the French Revolution." This is some help, but not much, for we now want to know what factors determined the reception...
