	Alan Ehrenhalt, author of The Lost City, gives various examples of the interplay between authority and choice in the building of communities. According to Ehrenhalt, choices should be balanced or curtailed by authority, or there will be no cohesion within a community. Ehrenhalt discusses how institutions that have taken all limits off choice can reinstate authority in order to reinstate or preserve community. He overviews the historical place of authority and community in order to draw conclusions about the present generation and its views of community.
