Social Acceleration and the Need for Speed - The Los Angeles Review of Books

[Thomas Eckhardt]

On the topic of speed:

W. T. Lhamon Jr., Deliberate Speed. The Origins of a Cultural Style in 
the American 1950's.

http://www.amazon.de/Deliberate-Speed-Origins-Cultural-American/dp/0674008731

Bought this in the City Lights bookstore way back when. Wittgenstein, 
Charlie Parker, Jack Kerouac, Little Richard, Ornette Coleman, Ralph 
Ellison, the great, great Chuck Berry, a chapter titled "Keep cool, but 
care" and much more. Highly recommended.
