1970s
- Ali/Frazier

When in feckless
youth Ali was a dazzling figure combining, say, the brashness of Hotspur
and the insouciance of Lear's Fool
... Joyce Carol Oates
- Nixon
History never
rests, never leaves alone the thing it makes; and there are signs that
history, having made ours a great nation, may now be in the process
of unmaking it.... Nixon's victory was the nation's concession of defeat,
an admission that we have no politics left but the old individualism,
a web of myths that have lost their magic.... Our archetypal 'self-made
man' is not only self-effacing but almost self-obliterating... Garry
Wills, Nixon Agonistes (1970)
- Dechantal
- Music
- Arab Embargo
