...readers need not despair. Griffith promises to deliver occasional essays to our doorstep, a form at which he has excelled, and he is already hard at work on a book that deals with inequality in America.

...emergence of local TV news and communications satellites help make the new system possible.

Two or three are wholly shapeless, like twelve months out of twelve in the real world. The narrator meets a renowned Indian healer named Rolling Thunder, and nothing happens; then a crazed and menacing religious cultist, and nothing happens again. Even when the narrator's brain- dazed brother, an outlaw...
