ABSTRACT
If there is a political moral to be found in this world … it is that we carry on the business of this century with an intolerable double vision. Right and left, the hothouse and the street. The Right can only live and work hemetically, in the hothouse of the past, while outside the Left prosecute their affairs in the streets by manipulated mob violence. And cannot live but in the dreamscape of the future. (Thomas Pynchon, V: 468)
