BRIAN STANIS POST 5 OF 14

"The alternative scenario was frightening. The popular culture gave full play to the fears of sex and communism running amok."

The time after the war became a time of utter kayos and utter distress. People often felt invincible and un-caring because of sheer happiness of their victory and also the fact of having their loved ones home. The colors, shapes, and textures of this image are a small example of how ideal customs, rules, and daily routines fit together after the war.

Elaine Tyler May, Homeward Bound (Basic Books, 1988) P. 85
