Tonivery in the wris lecture in 1995 that was a huge laugh line are we napping . [laughter] 1985,ring the lecture in james cu wilson asked why americans were so unhappy with the country that with was more prosperous and powerful than ever. He drew attention to several insufficiently addressed signs of disorder crime, failing schools, a coarsening culture, a deteriorating civic life.
