Description: "Can our American experiment in ordered liberty survive our current afflictions of vanishing social trust and escalating political rancor? I worry that it cannot and believe that our great task is to see that it does. Every page of this book - whether on how liberals and conservatives talk past each other, how convenience stores and road signs reveal us, or the roots of social conflict - is devoted to answering this question and depicting this task." -- Page 4 of cover.
