THE FACE OF AMERICA

The country had a history ; now it is just a place. Have a nice day is the limit of its conscious struggle, which is not nothing ; its citizens shoulder on, their weapons an eagerness to please and a submerged resentment of the apparent fact that the country does not give back what its history promised. So ordinariness rules, and an actor who can catch it gets work.
