For various reasons, I've left this series of
posts dangling unfinished for what seems like eons. Now seems to be a good time
to complete it. Blogger's confronted us old timers with the scary prospect of a
soon to arrive new interface. I've previewed it and can't for the life of me
figure out how to use the edit function. Instead of seeing straightforward
versions of my old posts, I'm faced with acres of (to me) indecipherable code.
And editing that is at this point beyond me. End result: while the legacy
interface is still available, I'll finish posting my 1001 titles. No preamble
about my take on the late 50's. Before I finished writing that, the blade on
the new interface guillotine may have whooshed down on me. Instead I offer a no
frills presentation of what's left of the list.
