Daniel Marcus, assistant professor in the department of communication at Wayne State University, authors this book tracing the influence of the 50s and 60s on American cultural politics. The cover features the famous photo of Clinton shaking hands with JFK, but the analysis goes back to the Reagan era thru the current resurgence of the religious right. There are lots of references to film, tv, advertising and other nostalgia, which Marcus argues is helping to shape politicians messages today. Happy Days and Wonder Years is available in Vairo Library at E830.5.M37 2004
