Beinart may be right in hailing a new dawn for American liberal politics, but before he celebrates, beware that this is not just another false dawn like so many before. Weren't we almost as enthused in 1960 when Kennedy beat Nixon? Look what happened within a decade: the moon landing, but also Vietnam and Nixon. Here in the U.K., New Labor's arrival in 1997 was greeted with much the same enthusiasm as Obama's is now.

...Harvard student spends so much time wearing big glasses and saying they “absolutely love Kerouac” and “really just get the theoretical meanings of Jainism” that they’ve forgotten what lies at the basis of even the coolest beat poets’ poems. I haven’t heard Janie/Jamie/Jenny laugh through the fire door again. And for Piper, that might not be too much of a problem. Maybe he thought she was only interesting for the length of a couple Miles Davis songs. But since that night...
