Just so you understand—uttering the word "Ghost" just ain't PC no-more. But isn't a ghost, really, a kind of simulacrum? A person without a body, a body without organs, a soul without the substance or qualities of the original man or woman? And doesn't that describe so beautifully the quotidian lives of those who gave up on or were betrayed by the 60's, those "returning deceased war veterans" and once-upon-a-time revolutionaries turned couch-potatoes? Ghosts?
