The Good Wife's Guide From a 1950’s Home Economics high school textbook Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be happy and a little more interesting for him.

Critics of Cold War Culture Levittown, PA Many Americans critical of Suburbia – Saw it as a wasteland of conformity and materialism – “packaged villages that have become the dormitory of a new generation of organization men.
