1938, the year of John's birth, was notable for the passage of progressive social legislation, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (which established the minimum wage and regulated child labor), the Pure Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (which strengthened the nation's first consumer protection law), and the Wheeler-Lea Act (which gave the Federal Trade Commission explicit authority to regulate deceptive advertising).
