That's a good synopsis, but a bit overly generous to the last 1T.  A lot of scum crawled out of the pond in the 1950s, including Trump's original mouthpiece: Roy Cohn.  And let's agree that saccharine books and movies leave a bitter after taste unless they're done exceptionally well. It was a good time to be a kid, but I'm not so sure it was a great time to be an adult.

The Elvis era of the mid to late 1T may have been the best time to be a teenager while the 2T was the best time to be a single adult. That time rather suddenly came to an end with the AIDS scare of the mid-1980s. For the male gender a hard penis was as good as hard currency.
