Nixon showed some real genius on AW (several times, actually). While Jim and Mary Matthews, the Baxters, and the Gregorys were all middle-class families -- Nixon's introductions, Lenore and Helen Moore were quite wealthy (even wealthier than Liz), and Ada, Sam, and Rachel were firmly working-class. So aside from Liz's wealth (from day-one), Agnes Nixon first introduced social class-conflict the AW. And that theme carried through both the Cenadella and Lemay eras. I believe social class conflict and long tortured romances were the hallmarks of AW during it's golden age.
