READING NOTEBOOK
There is a generalization to be ventured here--that no nation in history has been so systematically and consistently abused by its own intelligentsia as the United States in the twentieth century. An American intellectual defines himself by such abuse, and the record is by now endless and, stylistically speaking, distinguished.
--George Watson, "Americanophilia," The American Scholar, Spring 2000, p. 125
