We may be approaching the time when political and
executive figures may have to be recruited on the
same basis as was formerly used for movie stars.
Alternatively, it might be possible to transfer the
Paul Newmans or the John Waynes from the
entertainment sphere to the political sphere directly
in order to satisfy the need of people to be
reassured by images that remind them of all the
people they might have been in some ideal
existence.
Marshall McLuhan, “The President Who Was Not in
Touch with the Present,” unpublished, 1974.
