ON CHANGE
Fashions changed, changed again, changed faster and still faster : fashions in politics, in political styles, in causes, in music, in popular culture, in myths, in education's, in beauty, in heroes and idols, in attitudes, in responses, in work, in love and friendship, in food, in newspapers, in entertainment, in fashion. What had once lasted a generation now lasted a year, what had lasted a year lasted a month, a week, a day.
