  -> thank you, Jack. You are absolutely correct.

agree  Veronika McLaren: Yes, and 1950s - but is contemporary necessarily international?

  -> Thanks, Veronica. I get your point. I did think about the word before posting my suggestion, but I still believe "international" is appropriate in this context.
