“ Not that these happy families have made everyone else happy. If the vinyl-sided split-level and the wood-clad, rabbit-eared floor console were the twin pillars of American happiness in the boom years that followed two decades of depression and war, they also served as the durable  scapegoats for America’s soullessness, conformity and anomie : vast wastelands, little boxes made of ticky-tacky, little boxes, all the same.” -- A.O.
