505 0 |a Time Line: The Martini Decade by Decade -- The Simple Messages of the Martini. Message 1. The Martini is American -- it is not European, Asian, or African. Message 2. The Martini is urban and urbane -- it is not rural or rustic. Message 3. The Martini is a high-status, not a low-status, drink. Message 4. The Martini is a man's, not a woman's, drink. Message 5. The Martini is optimistic, not pessimistic. Message 6. The Martini is the drink of adults, not of children. Message 7. The Martini belongs to the past, not to the present. The Simple Messages Reconsidered -- The Ambiguities of the Martini. Ambiguity 1. The Martini is civilized -- the Martini is uncivilized. Ambiguity 2. The Martini unites -- the Martini separates.
