Prewar: Vaudeville. Depression-era frugality. Guarded sense of life's insecurity; the dark humor of adversity.

Postwar: Television. Consumerism. The technocratic optimism of the New Frontier.

Intersection: child-rearing. The old generation grew up with a rap inna mouth. The new one consults Doctor Spock.
