...usual when victims put a price tag on their pain, troubling questions arise. The problem is deeper than-just suspicion about the Garland's motives, though the protests that they sued for the gesture rather than the cash don't ring altogether true.

One reason: for the first time since the days of John Kennedy, an extraordinary number of young people are aware of just how much fun it can be to serve their country, even with the low pay and long hours. Viet Nam and Watergate soured a generation on governing. The Reagan revolution holds out the prospect of change to people of all political persuasions (those in like it, those out want to be in to stop it).
