Magaril makes Alan the truly compelling victim of the Modern Age: alienated, practically illiterate, addicted to television.

Jimmy Carter knew he couldn't climb onto a marble throne next to FDR or JFK, but he also knew his audience would respond to a protest against any trivialization of the progressive ideal...
