...another major decision last week, the Supreme Court directed a chilly breeze down Madison Avenue's way. By a vote of 5 to 4, the court ruled that even truthful ads for lawful goods and services may be restricted by the state to protect the "health, safety and welfare" of its citizens...
...suggested. "No society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law," he wrote. He felt, like few other men of his age, the inexorable current of humankind in which the only constant was change. But, of course, he was too much the dreamer. His friend James Madison brought him down to earth, pointing out that generations were not mere tidy mathematical certainties and that debts, like those incurred for the American Revolution, could benefit those who were to come.

Lori Russell and Leif Holliday, both 20, had also been given four showers by the time they were married near Madison, Kans., on June 1, but the showers were organized not by appliance requirements but by groupings of friends.

Not only that, long absorbed in themselves, the Baby Boomers are a generation that has avoided or postponed commitment to others. Many have little loyalty to their employers and less to political leaders or ideas. Partly because of the economic squeeze, they get married later and have children later. They also divorce more than their parents. Quite a few, it seems, are destined for an awfully lonely...
