American Thinker: The Cuckoo's Nest Visits Copenhagen
American Thinker: The Cuckoo's Nest Visits Copenhagen:
One of my all-time favorite novels is Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, later made into an Oscar-winning film. Set in an institution for psychological patients, Cuckoo's Nest is a cautionary tale about all institutions -- schools, churches, businesses, government bureaucracies, etc. It dramatizes the horrors of what can happen when those in charge hijack an institution and place their own ambitions and lust for power, prestige, and control above the welfare of the very people whom the institution was created to help."
