Kurt Andersen co-founded Spy magazine along with Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter. Good writer.
“Mix epic individualism with extreme religion; mix show business with everything else; let all that ferment for a few centuries; then run it through the anything-goes ’60s and the internet age.

What I wanna know is, is this uniquely American or is it an as-yet-undiscovered phase of societal evolution?
