"Having taken a long, honest look at America's two hundred years of nationhood, and even farther back into our historical roots, Reuben A. Kruggel has revived the essayist's art and offers us a fresh perspective of our progress. Addressing himself to the life of the home, Mr. Kruggel concludes sadly that it has seen better days ---- not that the good old days were perfect, but that they had more direction and more 'center' than we seem to enjoy today.....".
