		He quit college to focus on his budding career but struggled to get jobs in Hollywood and succeeded in paying his bills only by working as a parking lot attendant at CBS studios.
		Two films from 1955, Rebel Without a Cause and Blackboard Jungle, are most often cited as having symbolized the growing post-war rebellion of 1950s teenagers along with playing a part in the emergence of Rock and Roll as a lasting cultural phenomenon.
		His charismatic screen presence and very brief career combined with the publicity surrounding his death at a young age transformed Dean into a cult figure and pop icon of apparently timeless fascination.

		Reagan met the factory employees and listened to their concerns, getting to meet the public (and taking an interest in their problems) as he never was able to do during his years as a second-string leading man at Warner Brothers.

		In 1954 Ronald Reagan, his acting career in a tailspin, was rescued by the behemoth General Electric company.
		For the next eight years the unctuous Reagan hosted General Electric Theater, traveled to literally every GE plant in the country giving up to 14 pep talks a day, and even served as a mouthpiece for the massively powerful National Association of Manufactures.
		All of this was part of corporate America's postwar P.R. effort to undo the "damage" of the 1930s -- that is, the "creeping socialism" of the New Deal and the radical unionism of the working class.

		By some estimates, the nationwide goal of about 1 million all-electric homes was achieved, according to the Edison Electric Institute, although data on the actual number built is unavailable.
		Obviously, this house was all-electric when it was built in 1957, but in the intervening years it was switched to gas for water and environmental heat.

		In 1954, scriptwriter Charles Jackson and director Nicholas Ray adapted the narrative for The General Electric Theater, the weekly dramatic series hosted by Ronald Reagan, who was then learning from GE that “progress is our most important product,” a lesson of inestimable value for the future politician.
		Unfortunately, the dramatization is so underwritten and the direction so indifferent that Gomez does not get to make good on these intimations of crazed villainy.
		Of course, on a full-size movie screen at the museum’s theater, the film lost this accidental effect altogether.

		During the mid-1950s, he was hired as a national public relations spokesperson for General Electric, appearing every week for eight years on General Electric Theater.
		It was in this role that Reagan first acquired national prominence and recognition, as he was frequently asked to travel across the country as a "goodwill ambassador from the home office" to appear at speaking engagements among the 139 GE plants across the country.
		Among presidents of recent memory, perhaps only John Kennedy can be recalled to have inspired as much hope and enthusiasm among a generally passive and reticent American public.

		I also like the general absence of the excessively laudatory tone that came with Reagan’s eulogies.

		We also get some quick notes from presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, but mainly we cover Reagan’s career and how his letters reflected this.
