A look at the very un-MadMen era if when men were not as sure as Don Draper and living mostly with anxiety to be the breadwinner. Susan Jacoby uses her own father as her main study to see what really went on in The 60s.

Funny but like his movie with Adam Sandler, Funny People: funny but heart-breaking and deep. I enjoyed some interviews over others and even skipped a few.

Well, I read it in a few hours. While it was good, I was bored. The book does capture 1950s housewife, communist scare well, but I felt the Rosenberg's were forced into the story to add plot other than a bored and lonely housewife.

So good. Learned a few things. Peg Lynch started her radio career in Rochester, Minnesota, I grew up there and never heard of her.
