From 1966 to 2010, THE JERRY LEWIS MDA LABOR DAY TELETHON raised billions for muscular dystrophy causes. It also lived long enough to become a relic of a long-gone monoculture, and incited the wrath of disability advocates. We discuss a bona fide American cultural phenomenon from a very, very different time.
