"If Philip Roth, Don DeLillo or Thomas Pynchon (the three Americans most 
mentioned as Nobel contenders) would publicly accuse President Bush of 
certain indiscretions, or even crimes, hardly any of our newspapers would 
hand over significant space; the American public has been historically 
mistrustful of art’s encroachment on politics — especially now, in a world 
in which art has been depoliticized into mere entertainment."
