◆ Our manifesto

The 1950s gave us the interstate highway, the drive-in movie, the flying saucer, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. It gave us chrome on everything and paranoia about everything else. It was the most interesting decade in American history — and it's been waiting for someone to treat it that way.
