Crowd Culture

William F. Buckley's latest, LONG LIVE THE PUBLIC, analyzes some recent public events in America, from the funeral of President Ronald Reagan to the opening of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911. I'm reminded of the best critique I've ever read of American society, Crowd Culture by Bernard Iddings Bell, which calls for "democratic elites" to restore America. We Americans, too, can be lemmings.
