Hamill's mission shadows heroes and fallibility in history
The essay argues that while leaders and heroes are fallible, society craves role models. It notes parallels drawn between Tombstone and Vietnam, critiques city order in Chicago and New York, and laments the absence of enduring national idols. It contrasts cults around Goldwater Kennedy and McCarthy with real aviation and exploration feats.
