What it actually amounts to is that that jazzy new job of yours is a real dog-overlong, overpowered, uneconomical; that our whole economy is structured on a concept of dynamic obsolescence so that the average man who is earning under $5000 a year is paying $1250 a year for his car; that the car has become (Madison avenue has gauged the ""image intensity"") a status symbol as well as a sex symbol; that while it costs far too much- it is actually worth very little; and finally-if you decide to See America First, and travel across the country from one Howard Johnson to the next, you will see the real ruin of our landscape and our cities....An expose type of enlightenment, this horsepowers its bitter truths with some bright quips for that audience (The Hidden Persuaders, etc.) susceptible to a rebuke.
