They partied and protested, then grew up to dominate America with their chutzpah and sheer numbers. Yet now, as the oldest of the baby boomers prepare to turn 60, there are glimmers of doubt within this "have it all" generation about how they will be judged by those who come next.

They also fought in the rice paddies of Vietnam, created the Leveraged Buy-Out (allowing corporations with poor credit to gain more capital) and voted in the first all-Republican government in generations.

The boomers were, in many ways, superior to the WWII generation. I say this as a child of a boomers.

and the protestors were always a tiny elite minority

the civil rights protestors were not boomers..
