...would be Norman Mailer who would try and give the movement definition. In an essay titled "The White Negro," Mailer painted hipsters as American existentialists, living a life surrounded by death - annihilated by atomic war or strangled by social conformity - and electing instead to "divorce oneself from society, to exist without roots, to set out on that uncharted journey into the rebellious imperatives of the self." As the first hipster generation aged, it was replaced by the etymologically diminutive hippies, who appropriated their fears about the Cold War but embraced the community over the individual...
...gain some real-world insight into these stats, I called the first smart short person I could think of, a friend named Milton Lee. Despite what these studies indicate, smart short people do exist. Milt, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, made a killing as a Wall Street trader in the 1990s, but quit finance to chase his dream of becoming a basketball coach.

In the mid-1980s, the Air Force launched the short-lived Air Defense Initiative, designed to shoot down Soviet cruise missiles launched toward the U.S. "It's an embryonic program that addresses threats that will exist by the late 1990s," a top Air Force planner said in 1986. Five years later, of course, the Soviet Union collapsed. But that threat - while it has yet to materialize - still lives on in the toolbox of those pressing Congress to spend real money to fight hypothetical threats...
