More From Lewis H. Lapham

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. perhaps you will say a man is not young; i answer he is rich. he is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

What do americans know about morality? they don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the nicaraguan rebel forces after congress has restricted such aid; they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive congress- lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!
