The Changing Balance of Work and Leisure in Middletown, 1924-1982.
Caplow, Theodore
Indiana Social Studies Quarterly, v38 n2 p36-48 Aut 1985
Known as Middletown since Robert and Helen Lynd studied it in 1924, Muncie, like every other U.S. community studied during that period, turned out to be obsessed with the idea of social class. Recently researchers have found in Muncie some tendency toward the disappearance of a preoccupation with social class. (RM)
