Title: A Look Back To See Ahead
Subtitle: Our Chronic Culture Viewed From the 1970's

To dramatize his point, he returns to the chaotic and taciturn 1970s to show what is happening now compared to what was happening then.  Like deja vu, it apparent to him that we are facing situations that seem strangely similar if not precisely the same as nearly forty years ago.  

President Barak Obama could easily step into the same quicksand, because that is metaphorically what it is, if he is not careful.  C. J.

A LOOK BACK TO SEE AHEAD asks the reader to see how little has changed, and why attempting to solve our problems with the same thinking that created them can no longer be tolerated.  Dr. Fisher describes the problem.  He feels there is no shortage of experts who would provide the prescription, hopefully, with the caveat he offers here.
