90 EDITOR'S NOTE: In the midst of a new awakening in American society, the 1971 PENDULUM staff feels that now is the time to examine the American spirit - to take a closer look at the basics of our society and what has directed America and the American people to the crossroads where we now stand. In the following editorial comment we attempt to interpret the essence of the American dream. Somewhere between the life and the dream, between the myths and the realities, lies the meaning of the American experience. Like all national histories, it has been shaped by accident as well as by design, by leaders who forged a popular mood as well as by those who followed one, by periods of tumultuous social change, and by years of stagnation. More than most countries, though, the United States has been guided by basic assumptions concerning its character as a nation and the personality of its people. Many of these convictions, reaching back to a time before nationhood, survive to the present. Like a hall of mirrors reflecting or distorting the truth, this set of beliefs is a corridor to the past in which the American Dream was born. First among the articles of faith was a belief in America's uniqueness - unique in untapped riches, in its freedom-seeking settlers, in the three thousand miles of ocean that was a welcome barrier between the old civilization of Europe and the new continent. In the Colonies a man was separate from his ancestors, the bonds of class were severed, he could begin fresh, limited only by ambition and ability. Here would be built God's American Israel, Reinhold Niebuhr has said, whose children would be free. Except for the slaves, equality of .opportunity was a fact, not a slogan, as the emerging nation itself bore witness.
