"It Was an Intellectual Cauldron"

"Of course, America had its home-grown phenomena as well: Tennessee Williams, William Inge, Margaret Mead, Jackson Pollock, the Jazz Renaissance, the Beat Generation (Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs), Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, Stan Freberg, Jules Feiffer, J.D. Salinger, Gore Vidal, Eudora Welty, and the Golden Age of television (Playhouse 90, 'Paddy' Chayefsky, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Rod Serling, Sid Caesar, Ernie Kovacs, Edward R. Murrow, Dave Garroway, et al.)."

David Macaray in a brief 2012 Huffington Post article defends the 1950s.
