Click Here To Listen: Blue Sky Dreams on This American Life

This is an exerpt from a powerful memoir that recounts the author's world (together with his family), growing up in middle-class suburbia, from Sputnik to the present, and writes of the great institutions--the government, the multinational corporations, the church, the suburban tract home neighborhood--in which his family put their faith, and how that faith was betrayed.
