AB  - Imagine a village of glass houses at night. The houses are of various  sizes and illuminations, but there is one prosperous house that is  exceptionally well-lit and visible to all around. Each house has its own  furniture and tastes, and the occupants are also curious about and influenced  by what they can see their neighbors doing—and what they all can see  happening in the brightest house. The activities observed in the brightest  house are not necessarily attractive and they are, after all, the activities of  other people; nevertheless they present at a distance an alternative mode of  life and one that influences the whole village simultaneously. Their  activities are the talk of the village and the temptation of youth in other  houses looking for a life different from that of their parents. If the brightest  house is as powerful as it is bright, the others will be either alarmed by its  strength or reassured by its leadership.
