Artistically

[W]hen John Kennedy became president, we were to a certain extent an artistically barbaric country.  This was not a gentle country, but a country whose rural pastimes, at a period when the majority of our population was still outside the principle urban population centers, were cruising on the main drags, young men making target practice of road signs, gay bashing, racial slander, lynching, and American Joe drinking beer on the couch and watching television.
