Perspective Distorted
In the days when Hollywood was
flooding the nation and the world with
more than 500 movies a year, a stand-
ard complaint—not unjustified — was
that they painted a distorted picture
of this country's life.
The motion picture industry is no
longer given sole blame, yet some
scholars and other observers suggest
that the distortion today is greater
than ever.
Those who talk about the “hidden
America” of poverty, disease and dis-
tress which exists in our generally af-
fluent nation are arguing, in their way,
that the country’s image is out of bal-
ance.
The reverse side of that coin has
now been defined for us by educator
Harold Taylor. At a Washington
meeting of the National Committee on
Support of the Public Schools, of which
he is a vice chairman, Taylor said mat-
ters had reached the point where the
largely prosperous U. S. suburbs were
being portrayed as the sole symbol of
American life.
For many decades our great growth
has been in the suburbs. For the most
part they are now the “home” of mid-
dle class America. They will get vir-
tually all the fantastic new growth
which lies just ahead. And it is to them
that, with few exceptions, we hold the
mirror when we think to picture the
America of 1963.
The scholars say that more and
more the central cities are the abode of
the rich and the poor. Except in oc-
casional “realistic” films, plays or
novels, life at the poor extreme is sel-
dom presented.
No one can object, certainly, to
representations of America which
stress the solid, rewarding substance
of middle class living. But that life
needs to be seen—and lived—in full
perspective.
Taylor’s complaint, echoing some
before him, is that for too many peo-
ple. and especially growing youngsters,
the good things of suburbia are being
taken in isolation.
Thousands grow up with no thor-
ough knowledge of the cities, their
often beleaguered peoples, and their
crushing problems. The cities are
merely something to pass through to
reach the magnet of downtown enter-
tainment and shopping.
Taylor’s point seems well ground-
ed. To isolate a steadily enlarging
segment of our people in the sanitized
air of the suburbs is to render them
ill-equipped for the rude shock of
meeting the rest of America—a£ many
of them surely must—at some stage in
a mature, useful life.
she said, we might as well be engaged, and
if it .doesn’t work oat, we can break it.”
She showered him with kindness and gifts,
he relates, and finally when he suggested re-
considering any wedding plans, she gave him
her car, saying it would, be his anyway when
they were married. ■*
“The girl is terror stricken that I’m going
to bow out,” says Jack, “because all her
friends are engaged and married. But in
every case the guys they’re married fo don’t
seem to know what hit them.’’
Even the girls who want to get married
to have a home and family “don’t realize it’s
important for the man to feel he’s ready
for all that jazz.’’ he says.
“A aouple of fellows I know are up to
their eyebrows in debt,” he says. “One didn’t
finish college and can’t even get a decent
job. The other is on such a skimpy allow-
ance that he can’t even go bowling. They’re
going to have a baby,” he adds, gulping.
What bothers Jack is that he wants to
be a doctor, and believes that if he marries
now with two , more years of college ahead,
he’ll be all washed up, even though the girl
says she'll work and help him.
His father has asked him to wait, finish
college, and then if he decides not to go to
medical school, he can get married with a
clear head. “I think they’d feel even worse
if they knew I don’t love the girl," he says.
As the girl’s parents talk about the lace
on her grandmother’s wedding gown, and how
she is going to inherit the family silver, Jack
gets a lump in his throat. The girl eats it
up, he says, and he feels sure she needs mar-
riage “to compete with her friends.
Every time we have a date, we visit one
of her married friends. The idea is to put
the marriage charm on real thick. Jane thinks
I’m impressed, but when I'm alone with the
guy, he spills the beans they' should have
waited.”
Jack is not hooked. He plans to get out
of this mess at all costs, and his hope is to
do it without hurting anyone.
“I’m going to definitely postpone it for
six months, blaming it on my parents, then
J'U be able to break it off gently without
too much embarrassment for the girl. If I
do it now, just a couple of months before the
wedding, she'll go berserk,” he says.
He fears modern girls can’t take it.
“They’re like big babies. If they don’t
get their way, they’ll go off to a sanitarium
