Well the article didn't explain why between 1960 when the last of the "Lost" Generation started to retire or turn over leadership to the younger "Greatest" Generation and 1992 when the "Boomers" took over everything went to pot.

As an X'er myself the generation I respect is the "Lost" one which came to age in the trenches of World War I, created the Jazz Age, lost it all in the Depression then was Generals and Sargents who lead the privates and 2LT's on the beaches at Normandy.

That Generation was the greatest of the 20th century in my book be their influance on Music (Jazz Age, 40's Swing), Writing (Steinbeck, Hemingway), Art (Edward Hopper, Thomas Hart Benton), Style (Art Deco) or other influances.

And they fought prohibition!!! No bar today can hold a candle to a speakeasy

But unfortunately they were the ones not the WWII generation (because they were too young)that elected FDR four times :-(
