About the book >.>.> The theme of the convention was “Wedding Dreams” and appropriately it was held in Niagara Falls the honeymoon capital a setting of fierce natu- ral beauty pimpled with fast-food joints and tawdry motels. The delegates were not newlyweds who had come to cuddle aboard the Maid of the Mist poignantly hopeful that their union unlike half of all American marriages would last. They were not children who had come to goggle at the cataract over which dozens of cartoon characters had plunged in barrels and miracu- lously survived. Nor were they shoppers attracted by Niagara’s other big draw-the Factory Outlet Mall-where such brand names as Danskin and Benetton Reebok and Burberrys Mikasa and Revere Ware could be pur- chased for as much as 70 percent off retail. They were however consumers many of whom had been taught a style of consumption by the very object they were convening to celebrate. They had fled the turquoise sky and the outdoor pagentry for the dim cramped ball- room of the Radisson Hotel. There were hundreds of them: southern ladies in creaseless pant suits dragging befuddled Rotary Club-member husbands; women in T-shirts from Saskatoon and Pittsburgh. (SP)
