description: From its frontier beginning, Phoenix was praised by dreamers, promoted by boosters and sold by hucksters. People were assured that the possibilities were limitless, and the future was whatever one wished to make of it. The key to that future consisted not only of industry and politics, but of diversity in lifestyle and development. Since the 1940s, Phoenix had typified the phenomental growth of the Southwest, booming to the nation's sixth-largest city - a desert metropolis.
