  Looks at a range of commercial objects and phenomenon, from television and toys to comic books and magazines. The author looks at the often unspoken assumptions about class, nation, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation that underscored both media images (like those of 1960s space missions) and social policies of the mass-produced suburb.
