The anxiety of modern existence can lead someone to "turn back from his
freedom, and to find someone who says he knows the truth and can tell him
what to do, to find the shrine of some new god, of any cult however newfangled,
where he can kneel, where he can kneel and be comforted, put on manacles
to keep his hands from trembling, ensconce himself in some citadel where
it is safe and warm."  Walter Lippman, from the Colorado Daily 5-12-83
