People inside the process,
constituting as they do
a self-created and
self-referring class,
a new kind of managerial elite,
tend to speak of
the world
not necessarily as it is
but as they want people out there
to
believe it is.

Footnotes
Ms. Didion's book of essays,
introduced me to the Yeats poem
featuring that phrase.
I was not hip enough
to have discovered the poem
on my own.
