Norton & Company, 1940 - 472 páginas "With brilliant wit and trenchant judgments [the authors] offer a scintillating survey of seemingly everything that went on ofb any consequence (or inconsequence) in those years in politics, business, science, religion, art, literature, fashion, education, popular amusements, domestic life, sexual relations - and much else.
