Summary: Great References Useful in Writing or Speaking
Review: As a minister, I often use this work to write embellished obituaries highlighting the main evnets in a persons life when I conduct a funeral(e.g., "...when John Smith was born in 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed into law...while Al Jolson's new hit, "You Made Me Love You" topped the charts...")This volume can be useful to writers seeking to set a tone, historians, or those interested in popular culture or gaining a perspective of America's changing times. It is definitely a reference book, interesting to thumb through, but not a book for standard reading.
