What does " diversity " at Harvard Business School have to offer
working class Americans ? When it comes to PROFITS the Rainbow people
all fade to the shade of " The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit ".
Imagine
these " best and brightest " of America's families leaving Harvard
Business School or Harvard Law School without even being able to IMAGINE
any society not based on capitalist greed and vicious, stupid
militarism ?
How many socialists on the faculty of Harvard Business School ? Harvard Law School ?
Well , after all, socialism is BANNED in Boston ? Is it not ? As seedy as " The Tropic of Cancer."
[ Miller gave the following explanation of why the book's title was Tropic of Cancer:
"It was because to me cancer symbolizes the disease of civilization,
the endpoint of the wrong path, the necessity to change course
radically, to start completely over from scratch.” ]
[The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is an adaptation of Sloan
Wilson’s bestselling 1955 novel of the same title. In his novel, Wilson
calls attention to the conformity of the day. [5] A quote from David Halberstam’s The Fifties
sums up Wilson’s and other Americans’ fears about their contemporary
society, “Others were made uneasy by the degree of conformity around
them, as if the middle-class living standard had been delivered in an
obvious trade-off for blind acceptance of the status quo.” [6]
The film adaptation of Wilson’s novel establishes the idea of a wasted
life due to conformity and the never-ending struggle for more that
seemed to dominate 1950s America.]
