...becoming a workaholic, but clearly loves his job. "The medical sleuthing-that's the most fun. The clues start to fall into place step by step as you go through it." The disease detective's zeal is admired by his superiors. "His is the old hard-work ethic," says Dr. Mitchell Cohen, Holmberg's supervisor. "What we constantly do is pose questions.

Dante's episode (from It's a Good Life, aired in 1961) turns the Spielberg ethic on its head and finally gets the movie moving with spooky style. Jeremy Licht plays a boy with monstrous powers, who corrals an ersatz family and bends them to his infantile wishes. In this cartoon nightmare, giant skinned rabbits pop out of hats, and people who talk back have their mouths erased. Like the best Twilight Zone originals, Dante's horror-comic homily provides an oblique moral: youth must not be served, at least not peanut-butter burgers on a paper...

They work because everyone is expected to work. But then, perhaps in the next generation, they move to the next stage in which they assume more control over their lives. This stage...

...from a career and plenty of white wine, not living as they chose without taking any responsibility for running the show. Above all, according to Yankelovich's survey results, they tried of pursuing selfish goals, felt increasingly lonely and began to seek community and commitment. Has the stage three "ethic of rebellion and self-fulfillment" given way to the stage four "ethic of commitment"? I hope so, because it certainly represents greater maturity to be committed to something beyond the self, to some reality that transcends the self and tests one's freely given loyalty and commitment. Such a perspective...
