Rethinking boomer heroes

"The real force behind the 1960s revolution was a generation born in the 1930s and, to a lesser extent, in the early 1940s. We speak constantly about the baby boomers and the 'Greatest Generation,' the veterans of D-Day, but we rarely refer to the generation born in-between. It was precisely this generation, however, that transformed our culture. From this demographic cohort came the men and women who became the icons of the 1960s and who have had no equivalent successors. They cast very long shadows." "The In-Betweeners" Toronto Star
