No- the entire fuss wasn't Kramer's fault- but he sure seemed to ride the wave, and he was often the person media picked out for comments. That book of his was mentioned all over the place.

I have no idea if I was being fair or not, but in my mind I always blamed Kramer for the prozac rucous of that era...Do you remember that stuff and all those jokes???
