To watch an American on a beach or crowding into a subway or buying a theater ticket or sitting at home with his radio on tells you something about one aspect of the American character: the capacity to withstand a great deal of outside interference so to speak; a willing acceptance of frenzy which though it?s never self-conscious amounts o a willingness to let other people have and assert their own lively and even offensive character. They are a tough race in this.
