Modern Youth Fashion and Public Habits in 1960s America
The piece surveys counterculture trends and consumerism through vivid examples: a shaggy hairstyle costing 7.50, a 1.50 fixing spray, surplus jackets, tie-dyed shirts, and mass produced handmade look goods. It notes industry profits from antimaterialism, the driver’s license impact on youth, ecology papers, and prices along the farm to table chain. It mentions pollution talk, peace demonstrations, drug issues, hog pricing gaps, and local civic notes about parking lots and golf lore, ending with a quip on passenger trains.
