Half a century of advancement, cultural marvels, social change, and war!

Warning: Spoilers
Of course, the representation of social change is very select here as if the writers you didn't think the audience would be interested for more than seventy minutes. You get a lot more of women's advancements in business, fashion, sports and entertainment than you do on racial issues which is a shame.

You also only get snippets of important historical events and some inclusions seem rather unimportant to compare to some of the things left out. It's basically a reflection of the big events mixed in what may have appeared on gossip magazine covers. The Dione Quintuplets. Really?

But for the use of news rails it is fascinating as it builds up to the years between the world wars and some of the events that capitulated the second one into infamy. You could also say that some of them were left out due to lack of concrete information, but things like civil rights gains and the holocaust were not too unknown to be even given a mention. B+ for this history lesson.
