HAL BOYLE in New York lists everyday irritants in a light apocalyptic tone. The piece mocks items from mink cufflinks to private teen telephones and other gadgets while lampooning social pretensions and modern quirks observed in mid century American life.
In a satirical slice of culture reporting, the piece pokes fun at pretentious owners claiming depth while their actual speech hinges on quirky sounds and trendy buzzwords. It references stock touts, all girl go go acts, biker groups, and fashionably dull diners seeking mistaken prestige.
