I found this humorous book printed in 1958 and it jumped to the top of the to-be-read stack.
I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a different time. The same book written today could never be pulled off and still be funny.
Imagine it is 1958. We are in a small Connecticut coastal town where the old blue blood Yankee Mayflower descendants and the professional New York City commuters live in the same community, but they are pitted against each other at town meetings for control of everything. The commuters are all lawyers, accountants and Broadway moguls. Now throw in a plan to build a US Army Nike missile base that will defend Bridgeport airspace in that town.
Some of the funniest parts were discussions about how to protect their daughters from the incoming Army soldiers. It was hilarious.
