Re: "Love Affair" Update

Michael,

A few tips:

KENNETH CHARLES BLAISDELL wrote a dissertation in 1984 on early 1950s car
magazines. The abstract refers to "America's love affair with the car."

Also, in a footnote in a 1958 article on "The Belief in Progress in
Twentieth-Century America" Clarke Chambers refers to a Max Lerner article in
which Lerner "commented upon the long love affair that Americans had carried
on with the machine..."(Journal of the History of Ideas: Vol. 19, No. 2,
p.217)

Max Lerner "The Machine Explodes" in Actions and Passions: Notes on the
Multiple Revolutions of Our Time (New York, 1949) p. 19-20
