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)
