Exploring pivotal moments in American cultural history, the author presents unique insights into figures like William James, T. S. Eliot, and Richard Wright. He connects seemingly disparate elements, such as the success of The New Yorker and CBS, and the interplay between Larry Flynt's Hustler and Jerry Falwell's evangelism. The narrative also highlights the significance of the atom bomb in relation to educational assessments, while reflecting on contemporary politics through Al Gore's tenure in the White House.
