The thing that I would say is that U.S. power is not eternal. I am not saying that it won't come to an end. Because it will.
I had no idea that 'Less Than Zero' was going to be read by anyone outside of Los Angeles, and it's - believe me, as the writer of the book I'm somewhat amused and intrigued by the idea that 25 years later it's still out and people are still reading it.
