The Eights | Culture Wars in 1978
In the next installment, of "The Eights: A brief history of the American Culture Wars," Harris Poll C.E.O John Gerzema and executive editor Michael D'Antonio, co-authors of The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future (Jossey-Bass, 2013), examine 1978 in the historic Harris Poll Alienation Index, which has measured how alienated Americans feel since 1966. Hot-button issues included gay rights (Harvey Milk, Anita Bryant) and gun rights.
