Re: Disaffection and violence
For those of you not obsessed with trivia from the 20th Century, in 1913 Ambrose Bierce headed off into the desert to cover the Mexican Revolution and vanished. In 1930, Judge Crater got into a cab outside a theater in New York City and was never seen again.
Vaudevillians, the equivalent of today's late night talk show hosts, used both disappearances as fodder for many jokes. In fact, Judge Crater was still an oft-repeated name when I first started listening to radio and when we got our first TV.
