That was an interesting read. I remember my aunt driving a brown Pinto like the one in the pictures, but that would have been ten or more years later.

Thanks for including the economics history, too. The end of the gold era and the beginning of pure fiat is an important event that is underappreciated, to be sure.

No mention of Vietnam? Dad would have been right at the end of his service then. The Vietnam war is something of a mystery to those of us born in the 1970s. It was too fresh to be taught as history when we were in school. Now is actually the perfect time to study it. The people who experienced the war have had time to reflect on their experience.
