"For many, the world with which 'the sixties' left us is a distinctly unhappy one."
Thomas Frank on the opening page of The Conquest of Cool
This seems to suggest that we are living in an unhappy world and that the reasons for our unhappiness are to found in the 1960s. Two assumptions, or assertions, I'm not ready to take as true on the face of it. Both will be subjects of our conversations for several class periods.
