try TO o~x" a quarter century ago, it would never have
occurred to most U.S. citizens that the good or bad opinion
of the rest of the world was anything to dwell on, much less
worry about. By whatever standards, this was the land of
the free and the home of the brave. Only a fool would claim
that everything was dandy, but only a misanthrope could
deny that any people in history had been given so clear a
chance to determine their earthly fate or that any nation
had done so much with its opportunity. The U.S. was
bursting at the seams and supremely confident.
Now, when we are midway into the 2oth Century,
something seems to be gnawing away at that confidence.
Never have Americans looked at themselves so hard, never
have they been so bewildered by foreign sniping. In a day
when millions of U.S. tourists have seen the sickening
scrawl, "Yankee Go Home," an examination of what we
are and how others see us is not only inevitable but salutary.
By all odds the most interesting and meaningful starting
point is The American Character, by D. W. Brogan.
