Yeah, that makes sense as Golden Age, but not Golden Years. I guess I just never thought that people in a Golden Age, (e.g. the Golden Age of Science Fiction) would realize that they were in a Golden Age. Maybe that's what the author means by delusion.

consider the context. it's 1941 in New York. the Great Depression has ended and prosperity is returning... the War Machine is in full swing, but we're not at war... but the rosy isolation can't last, it's a delusion (a *World's Fair??) and Dec. 7 is just around the corner.
