Serious matters face the generation in question, but this magazine hardly defines them. Its cover story and only political piece, "The Paradox Generation," fails in its attempt to place the political identity of Generation X. Author Bridget Quinn--who "runs a not-for-profit rock climbing organization"--notes in the article that while Generation X-ers use computers, they still love books.

...Bridget Fonda plays Yvonne with simplicity and grace. She is one of the few actresses today who can play unpretentious, down-to-Earth women without being affected in any way. Fonda was so convincing you almost wonder if she is acting...
