...generation idealized by Madison Avenue for its superior muscle tone and free-spending habits is ruefully discovering that, contrary to the promise of the ads, it cannot have it all. Not only that, long absorbed in themselves, the Baby Boomers are a generation that has avoided or postponed commitment to others.
