American Icons
| Where can you find Miss Manners, Marilyn Monroe, and Madonna? What does a Hershey Bar have to do with a Crayola Crayon? Do the Golden Arches and the Golden Gate Bridge have more in common than their names? All of these – and over a hundred more – can be found in the three-volume book series “American Icons: An Encyclopedia of the People, Places, and Things that Have Shaped our Culture.” Each is profiled by someone who has studied related fields. Tune in this Wednesday when we talk to the book’s co-authors – and call us with some of your own favorite American icons. |  |
