...antipornography movement has some close cousins. One prominent grass- roots movement is the Parents Music Resource Center, led by Tipper Gore, the wife of Democratic Senator Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee. The P.M.R.C., through well-publicized hearings and letter-writing campaigns, has succeeded in persuading record companies voluntarily to identify recordings with explicit lyrics. Says Gore: "This is where the action is these days. I think it's very exciting what's happening all over the country. People in the communities are reawakening and reaffirming their commitment to values...

When the Princeton class of '69 was asked ten years later whom they most admired, the leading choice was "Nobody." To be sure, the generation has produced a few able young politicians like Senator Gore, but he is still very much a junior Senator in a minority party, hardly a national figure. The presidential aspirants who most openly court the Baby Boom voters--Democrat Gary Hart and Republican Jack Kemp--are 49 and 50 years old, respectively. It would not be surprising if a Baby...
