when, I wonder, did people start talking about the past in terms of
decades? the 60s were this, the 70s were that etc. obviously cultural
change does not conveniently fit such arbitrary divisions. Have seen
reference to the "70s" (1870s) in a bok published c.a. 1947, so it goes
back at least that far.
