  • DISCO DAYS
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    By 1972, President Richard Nixon had reached the heights of political power and popularity, only to self-destruct due to his role in a 'third-rate' burglary called 'Watergate.' Nixon resigned in disgrace, and, for the first time in history, Americans came to be led by an unelected President and Vice President -- Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller. But Americans had much more on...

  • The Psychedelic Sixties
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    The Psychedelic Sixties were turbulent times filled with periods of ecstasy and despair. Who could have predicted that President Kennedy’s Camelot would end with his televised assassination?

  • Freedom, Common Sense, and the Nanny State
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    Why the title, Freedom, Common Sense, and the 'Nanny State'? Freedom is the individual’s ability to choose. The more choices one has in life, the greater one’s freedom. America is world-famous as the Land of the Free. Common sense is the stuff wise decisions are based upon. Freedom and common sense-and lots of good, old-fashioned ingenuity-have built the greatest nation the wor...

  • The Eisenhower Years
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    The Fabulous Fifties were America’s 'Happy Days.' The Eisenhower Years produced amazing contributions to our American culture -- and to other cultures around the world. In so many ways, Americans innovated, and the world imitated -- from Elvis Presley and rock ’n’ roll to the Salk anti-polio vaccine. America’s contributions to the world included motion pictures and the Broadway...

  • A Humorous Account of America’s Past
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    In 1945, the United States was the most powerful nation in the world. But an 'Iron Curtain' soon surrounded Eastern Europe, and by 1950, Americans were fighting in Korea. In 1952, 'I Like IKE!' swept the nation, and the Fabulous Fifties began. GM sold the most cars, gas was 29 cents a gallon, and a new house cost $9,000. In 1955, following President Eisenhower’s 'mild' heart at...

  • A Humorous Account of America’s Past
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    In 1898, the United States became an empire by accident due to our 'splendid little war' against Spain. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the most famous men in America were not athletes or politicians; they were inventors and businessmen like Bell, Edison, Morgan, and Rockefeller. Teddy Roosevelt built the Panama Canal, launched the Great White Fleet, and became a Bull Moo...

  • A Humorous Account of America’s Past
    Richard T. Stanley / Richard TStanley
    America was discovered by a few Norwegians who got lost while sailing to Greenland. Had they established a permanent settlement, America might be the United States of Wine-Land. In 1492, Columbus gave the men of San Salvador shiney glass beads, and their women gave his crew syphillus. Who took advantage of whom? If not for the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, America today...
