...brokerage houses, politicking in stock exchanges and the practices that led to the speculative spree of the mid-1960s ?and the hard fall that followed. This new group differs considerably from the men who rose to power in the market in earlier times. Today's leaders are fairly young???many are in their 30s and 40s ?as well as politically iconoclastic and socially concerned. Skeptical of the conventional wisdom, they are questioning not only the mechanism of the market but the uses to which capital...
...What generation gap?" asks University of Michigan Psychologist Joseph Adelson, who argues that "an overwhelming majority of the young???as many as 80%?tend to be traditionalist in values." Much evidence suggests that youth's politics and passions still largely reflect those of their parents. Even the most radical student protesters tend to act out the ideals of their politically liberal parents, who often approve the goals if not the tactics of their activist children.

But programs such as bussing "negated all their sacrifices to provide their children an education...
Monsters with Badges. The Reddin blueprint pays attention to the young???rather self-consciously. Fourteen officers, each known as "Policeman Bill," are assigned to the city schools' first, second and third grades, where they tell children about the policeman's job. It all sounds a little cloying. Even so, before one "Policeman Bill's" visit, a survey showed, ghetto children portrayed cops as monsters with whips and flashing silver badges. After he left, they scrawled kindly father figures. To woo teenagers, almost always the troublemakers in ghetto disturbances, the L.A.P.D. has experimentally hired twelve youths for help on such minor...
