Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)
The oil embargo of 1973 forced the U.S. to ration gasoline for a time.
In 1950s, popular cultures spread due to television and print media de-emphasizing women and other minorities. Idealized white people were presented with little (if any) allusion to diversity, poverty or conflicts (such as the Civil Rights Movement). Material values and compliance were things criticized by the counterculture; literature, the Beat movement and music (rock 'n' roll) came into conflict with the "tidy suburban view of life".
