"...there are political phenomena in America which Marx could never have contemplated, for the continued survival of capitalism displaced the economic imbalance to a psychic imbalance which corrupts the very being of people's lives here...For we are in a profound crisis psychologically, since the country as it sees itself was founded and prospered on ideas of faith and reason, and faith has now become shattered or authoritarian, or the average America has lost his confidence in reason." -Norman Mailer, April '64
