...argued that 1963 marked the true end of the 1950s. While Phillips' campers frolic, the U.S., having ignored Eisenhower's departing warning about fighting a land war in Asia, is getting pushy in Vietnam; rock 'n' roll is beginning to convert youthful masses to the worship of the free libido; and Lee Harvey Oswald is ordering his rifle by mail...
