    This was the Great Times people want to go back to…The Good Old Days, if this is not the great time, then there is no great time.

    The late summer of 1952 saw the US at the peak of its powers, the undisputed kings of the post-war world. The economy was roaring, we were fighting a huge war in Korea to stop the Communists but it barely registered with the American public.

    At the same time there was a US presidential election - General Dwight Eisenhower against Adlai Stevenson that dominated the news.

    Meanwhile popular culture was shifting under their feet. The era of Hemingway was coming to its apex with his Pulitzer Prize this year with "Old Man and the Sea", while this week Kurt Vonnegut’s first book, "Player Piano", debuted, signalling a shift in the tone of American literature.

    The Bush political dynasty got its start, a Donald Trump mentor becomes big news… This was the Peak year of the Good ‘ole USA…
