The Quiet Crisis (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Quiet CrisisOne week last fall two events came to my attention which seemed to sum up the plight of modern man: the first was a press report which indicated that T. S. Eliot, the poet, was a victim of London's latest killer fog and lay gravely ill; the second was a call from a preservation minded citizen of New Hampshire who informed me that Robert Frost's old farm - fixed for all time in memory by the poem West-running Brook - was now an auto junk yard.The coincidence of these two events raised questions in my mind: Is a society a success if it creates conditions that impair its finest minds and make a wasteland of its finest landscapes?
