It hath its charms.  I still think it's got youthful optimism.
Pre-Texas Book Depository era.  We were still just "advising" Vietnam.
 A person might really think that American colonialism was subsiding
and propose strategies for coping with that eventuality, which is
something I feel is alive within V., but can't articulate
coherently (obviously)

Too many libraries?  That's an oxymoron or something, isn't it?
