Sons and Daughters CBB-0740<br />

by Stephen Longstreet<br />

to the complacent fifties, from the activist sixties to the disillusioned<br />

seventies, culminating in Watergate, it is a chronicle <strong>of</strong> a family's<br />

boundless vision <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> and <strong>of</strong> the very human passions shaped by<br />

that vision. 1987.<br />

cultures. 1994.<br />
