system. So, by the late ‘60s, most of my 
generation were in journalism or they went into 
film-making, or they joined communes, or they 
took drugs and they blew out their brains on acid, 
as I have written and so on. What we have now at 
the top, and I’m saying everywhere, it’s why we 
have these vacuums in the major magazines, why 
we have British editors of so many magazines in 
America, because the generation, which is mine, 
that should have took over, the one that was most 
revolutionized by McLuhan’s thought, simply opted 
out. We thought we could change things from the 
outside, but we could not.
