Selling Catholicism: Bishop Sheen and the Power of Television by Christopher Lynch, ISBN 0813120675
When the popularity of Milton Berle's groundbreaking television show began to slip, he quipped, "At least I'm losing my ratings to God!"
He was referring to the popularity of Life Is Worth Living and its host, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. On the air from 1952 to 1957, Sheen offered a reassuring vision of Catholicism as patriotic and traditional -- in short, a vision of mainstream, postwar America.
Sheen provided his viewers with a sense of stability by sentimentalizing the medieval world and holding it out as a model for contemporary society. Offering clear-cut boundaries that could eliminate anxiety in the midst of sweeping cultural change, he discussed topics ranging from the role of women to fears of communism. Sheen's ability to speak to both Protestant and Catholic audiences is reflected today in our longing for the 1950s, the last golden era when everyone "knew" right from wrong.

Martian Time-Slip by Philip K. Dick, ISBN 0679761675
On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people--especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's union--suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In Martian Time-Slip Philip K. Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.
