Most conspicuous is the World War II mania, from Saving Private Ryan and Tom Brokaw's encomium The Greatest Generation right up to this fall's HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, which has rolled boomer reconnection with parents, guilt over easy prosperity and a longing for communal purpose (be careful what you wish for) all into one trendlet...
