A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Life Jan 1/51 War assets issue. Pin-up girls featured as major asset. I have in forthcoming (March) Mechanical Bride to devise a technique for elucidating this scene. It can't be satirized. Trouble with duffers like Geo. Orwell is that they satirize something that happened 50 yrs ago as a threat of the future! Effect is narcotic. Regards.
