Harlan's newest story provided a lens for my angst, as I saw it as another allegory for all things social. The next year, fresh out of high school on my way to a junior college and too young (20) to vote: Humphrey, Nixon, or Wallace was not even on my radar. I was not apolitical, I was just not yet part of the process. Also, by that time, I had developed a solid reputation as A Rebel Without a Cause.
