Tom T Leah Bumphrey - The Monday Morning Memo

“DAVIDSON: Do you vote?

DIDION: Once in a while. I’m hardly ever conscious of issues. I mean they seem to me like ripples on the ocean. In the life of the body politic, the actual movement is going on underneath and I am interested in what’s going on underneath. What Life magazine used to call “the quality of life in our time” is determined not by who is in the White House but by economic forces. The policies I personally want are anarchic, Throw out the laws. Tear it down. Start all over. That is very romantic because it presumes that left to their own devices, people would do good things for one another. I doubt that’s true. But I would like to believe it.”

- Sara Davidson, A Visit With Joan Didion, The New York Times Book Review, April 3, 1977
