Watergate and related scandals of the Nixon administration damaged the country’s faith in politicians and the political system.

Each decade in 20th-century America is known for having a unique history and a different personality. In the 1920s there were flappers and the Charleston, in the 1950s bobby-soxers and hula-hoops, in the 1970s hippies and disco, and in the 1990s Lilith Fair and the World Wide Web.

Beginning in the 1970s a new generation of writers took over the hard-boiled story created by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hamme
