Review
"How is a young man to get ahead today? This book on manners, mores, and style seems to indicate that it may no longer be possible to ignore the old external observances: it counsels reasonable clothes and hair, good manners, and more than lip service to courtesy. It is, in other words, a 50's handbook, and that much-maligned Eisenhower decade seems to be coming back into fashion with a vengeance. The recommended cars, stereo equipment, and threads are all updated, of course; but this is all in a clear restatement of Mr. Speaker Rayburn's advice: to get along, go along."
