"And So On -- Heroes and Heroines" John Fitch IV Column

In this John Fitch column Cormier examines te sifting definitions of our culture's heroes, wondering why, for instance, the likes of Julia Child and Andy Warhol made a recent list. He concludes, however, that our choice of heroes ultimately reflects the times we live in, which, at that time, meant a veneration for famous athletes and celebrities from film and television, especially O.J. Simpson and John Wayne.
