Quote: Daniel J. Boorstin ...

"The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all."

-- from The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America, 1962
