peachtreekeen: One of the things Lerner writes about is the history of public attitudes toward drunk driving. He uses the example of Margaret Mitchell, the author of Gone with the Wind, who was crossing the street with her husband in Atlanta in 1949 when she was hit by a drunk driver and died. According to Lerner, people initially reacted with horror, but then attitudes shifted and there...
