>Evidence of this decline abounded... the loss of the soldier as hero
That seems very early, in the celebratory mood right after a won war. Was this something other people felt at the time as well, or prophetic of Vietnam?
An interesting ad that seems to have very little connection to the content of the book. Most of the headlines seem to be about Israel and Palestine, not even mentioned in the book as far as I can recall. I guess headlines from Billboard about jazz on the charts would not have seemed obviously negative to the average reader.
