I still have my mothers 1961 book "Guide to Successful Homemaking"

300 pages, published by Good Housekeeping magazine.
In the first chapter, "Decorating", there's a photo of an in-wall 25" TV, what looks like an H/K Citation 1 pre-amp and flanked by AR-3(?) speakers.
The caption under the photos says "A built-in entertainment center is an asset to any family room".
Although we had a Magnavox console, the better off neighbors had built in Heathkit or Dynakit systems built in to their dark paneled walls.
In fact just the mention of the words "built in" take me right back to the 60's when it seemed that everyone did it that way.
Hey, why doesn't anyone do built ins anymore? If this nostalgia trip continues, I'm gonna end up scoring some Heath components and actually doing it myself, paneling on the walls and everything, just for old times' sake. :)
Can't comment on weird food, we throve on normal high fat and sugary food and no one got fat until the 70's when diet stuff started appearing. Coincidence?
