description: The monarchy, the movies, and everything in between is lampooned in this humorous retrospective of twentieth-century follies, foibles and fads from Canada's preeminent popular historian. Berton even ventures a look into the future, when in 2021, Chicago and New York launch the first 22-lane they are designed for a speed limit of 100 mph, but traffic is so congested the limit has to be readjusted — to 15 mph.Following the success of A Farewell to the Twentieth Century , this new volume reflects Pierre Berton's knack for knowing just what will tickle the funny bones of his diehard fans.
