quote	Our most powerful and persuasive myth, which has had an amazingly widespread influence in this country and wherever radio is heard throughout the world, is that of the lone cowboy and the west. (en) Myths are like the beams in a house: not exposed to outside view, they are the structure which holds the house together so people can live in it. (en) Americans cling to the myth of individualism as though it were the only normal way to live, unaware that it was unknown in the Middle Ages and would have been considered psychotic in Classical Greece. (en) The son of shiftless and unsuccessful farm people of North Dakota, Jim Gatz reflected the American myth of Proteus... He believed he could recreate himself, deny his parentage and his roots and build a new identity. (en)
