" Everybody was pissed off in those days, but there were no socially acceptable outlets for hostility. "Hostile" was a word you heard constantly -- but it was a scolding word, like 'bad,' 'naughty,' or 'no-no.' All over this heavily psychoanalyzed country, people were saying to other people, 'Why are you being so hostile? . . . That's a hostile remark! . . . There's a lot of hostility behind something like that!' It was an incredible age, the fifties! An age of stifled violence obsessing about THE BOMB! "
