Two Americas

“John 2 came up with the theme of two Americas in the primaries, and John 1

still hasn’t articulated his vision for one.”—Maureen Dowd in the NY

Times, 7/18/04.

Er, actually, it was Benjamin Disraeli who came up with it back in 1845, in

his novel Sybil: “I was told that the Privileged and the People form two

nations.”
