OPINION: Poor Little Superman
(3 of 3)
"I am afraid for America," Jungk writes in his last chapter, "afraid of its losing the best of itself, the esteem for freedom and humanity, in the struggle for nearly godlike omnipotence." Only at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton did he find a glimmer of hope. There someone told him: "All that you've seen in America ... is not what is to come but what is already passing." "So you don't think the future will be simply an intensification of this alarming present?" asked Jungk. "No," replied his mentor. "In spite of everything, there is hope."
