This photo of what must be a family room from 1971 is from James Lileks’ book Interior Desecrations. The caption says “The Panic Room, c. 1971. Honey, there’s a burglar in the house! Quick, downstairs! I’ll get the gun – you type a letter to the police, then sew up a sack I can put him in.” And those tennis racquets – how can they be employed?
