Summary
"The author explores the iconography of the mid-century U.S. in the context of TV watching, game playing and prize winning--and collective self-examination. The scandals that marred the genre's reputation are revisited, highlighting American's propensity for both gullibility and winking cynicism"-- Provided by publisher.
