"Social reform?  The world was technically under
martial law.  As for art, I'm not sure I know good
from bad.  But artists to some extent have to reflect
the temper of the times.  Paintings and sculpture were
full of torture and  dark brooding; movies seemed
static and plotless; music was dominated by nostalgic
revivals of earlier forms; architecture was mainly
concerned with finding someplace to put everybody;
literature was damn near incomprehensible.  Most
people seemed to spend most of their time trying to
find ways to outwit the government ...."  --Joe
Haldeman, The Forever War, Pt. 2, Ch. 9 (1974)
