    Garbage and fruit in Little Rock.
    And I saw coiling storm a-writhe
    On bright madonnas. And a scythe
    Of men harassing brownish girls.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    If anything characterizes the cultural life of the seventies in America, it is an insistence on preventing failures of communication.
