Abstract
Burning bras, rebel "teenagers", rioting black Americans, burning cities, angry students and happy hippies are only a few amidst a veritable panoply of symbols of an exploding and ebullient young America struggling to find itself throughout the vibrant fifties and sixties, an era of unprecedented consumerist frenzy and economic prosperity. Both the decades of the fifties and of the sixties brought amazing, novel and revolutionary changes to the American domestic scene which, whether or not the President and his administration's passions lay in international affairs or in domestic policies, were sure to greatly mobilize the presidential position, and with the expansion of modern communication technologies these happenings infiltrated the eyes of the entire world. Precisely how and why American officials responded the way they did to the internal pressures pulsating in the hearts of the American people greatly determined the way the United States are shaped today.
