In area after area that was generally off limits to commercialism, the mercantile juggernaut has moved in or swarmed over - into our schools and colleges, our public media, our amateur sports, our holidays and rituals, our arts, our children, our privacy and private sensibilities, our religious institutions, our environment, our language, and our politics.
