The text contrasts optimism in personal life with pessimism about the nation’s direction, questioning confidence in government continuity. It criticizes 1970s non-fiction and contemporary fiction for amplifying defeat, violence, and decadence, arguing that authors raise alarms but often fail to offer realistic guidance or balanced reflection. Calls for exploring positive, hopeful aspects of American life are presented.","FRIDAY,JUNE 17th,12 NOOW  \nThe HonorableDON H.CLAUSEN  \n# U.S.Congressman from California\"JOBS vs.REDWOOD PARK\"\n\nThe Redwood National Park issue is not simply a localized issue but rather one that is repre-sentative of a continuing struggle nationwide between the environment and the economy.  \nAs representative of the \"Redwood Empire District,\"Congressman Clausen is an expert on theissue.He recommends improving existing park and recreation areas in order to provide moreefficient use as opposed to further park expansion.  \nCLARENCE POON,Quarterly Chairman  \nTickets 56.50 at door  \n\n| ADVANCE TICKET SALE Rocoption   |\n| --- |\n\nTHURSDAY,JUNE 23rd,4:45-7:00 P.M.RALSTON RO0M,SHERATON-PALACE HOTEL  \nCLARENCE M.KELLEY  \nDirector,Federal Bureau of Investigation  \nSpecial Advance Tickefs—$2.00 for Club members atending;$3.00 FOR MEMBERS'GUESTS.No HostCocktai ReceptionMail check and self-addressed,stamped envelope to Commonwealth Club Ofice,681 Market St.,S.F.,or call 362-4903 for reservations.All unpaid reservations will be canceled Tuesday.June 2Ist at 5 p.m.No refunds thereafter.  \nOnly those with tickets can be allowed into the room to listen to the speech.  \nFrom Address byHAROLD GILLIAMAuthor and Columnist  \n\"In an era when traditional standardsand values seem to be crumbling andAmericans are urgently seeking groundsfor hope,encouragement and confidence,many of the most significant books pub-lished in this country in the 1970s haveoffered little more than vivid versions ofdefeat,despair,decadence and doom—apicture of America as a wasteland.  \n24  \n# American Attitudes\n\nA large part of our own image of our-selves as a people comes from what Ameri-can writers say about us directly in theirbooks and indirectly as their message isfiltered through the entertainment andnews media.Partly as a consequence ofthe preoccupation of many Americanwriters with morbidity,violence and de-cay,Americans are confused about whowe are as a people and where we are go-ing as a nation.A Bicentennial poll onAmerican attitudes indicated that most ofthose polled were optimistic about theirpersonal lives,but they were pessimisticabout the direction and future of the na-tion.Only about one-half of those ques-tioned believed that our present form ofgovernment would survive another 200years.Among those under 25,normallythe time of life when hope and optimismare highest,nearly one-half felt that life  \nJE13  \n77  \nJMI  \n# 'Writers Become Merchants of Compulsive Pessimism'\n\nFRIDAYFLASHES-JUNE3rd                    intheU.S.wassteadilygrowing worse.  \nIn words that I am taking from the titlesof some non-fiction books about Americain the 1970s,we are told about the end ofthe American era,the end of affluence,theend of the American future,the sick so-ciety,the bewildered society,future shock,American culture at the breaking point,the coming dark age,the dying of the light,and the decadence of American life.  \n# Gloomy Contemporary Fiction\n\nA large proportion of contemporary fic-tion is equally gloomy.Too many novel-ists,playwrights,poets,and film makersseem to take delight in portraying a de-cadent society dominated by violence andcruelty,and inhabited almost entirely byvictims,predators,anti-heroes,drop-outsand psychoes.The composite picture thatcould be drawn from such works is a pic-ture of America not only as a wastelandbut as a civilization on the skids,an ex-cessively wealthy,corrupt,aging cultureentering the long twilight which has ul-timately descended on all great civiliza-tions of the past.  \nAdmittedly,there is evidence for someof the points these writers are making.There is violence and defeat and despairin American life.There is corruption;there is evil;there is tragedy.There isevidence that pollution is reaching lethallevels,that we are using up basic re-sources on which our civilization depends,that we have reached the end of the era(Continued on next page  \n\n| OFFICERS OF THE CLUB  \u003Cbr>The Commonwealth  \u003Cbr>David J.McDanlel      _…President  \u003Cbr>Bradl","cbCaibbI5Es88LHB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibbI5Es88LHB","pdf",1320656,"English","en",105,"# American Attitudes\n## 'Writers Become Merchants of Compulsive Pessimism'\n## Gloomy Contemporary Fiction\n## Current Fashion Accentuates the Negative","[{\"question\":\"What is the core argument about the Redwood National Park issue?\",\"answer\":\"The text argues it is not merely localized;
