...citizens of 25 and under in 1966 nearly outnumbered their elders; by 1970, there will be 100 million Americans in that age bracket. In other big, highly industrialized nations, notably Russia and Canada, the young also constitute half the population. If the statistics imply change, the credentials of the younger generation guarantee it. Never have the young been so assertive or so articulate, so well educated or so worldly. Predictably, they are a highly independent breed, and-to adult eyes-their independence has made them highly unpredictable. This is not just a new generation, but a new kind of generation...
Mother and Dad looked on beamishly from a pink-and-silver box high above the floor, and the orchestra burst into America the Beautiful.

In McCall's, Psychiatrist Eric Berne, author of the bestselling Games People Play, described some of the mean little games people play with Christmas gifts. "Mommies have a game for the younger children called 'Wait 'Til after Breakfast, Dear.' It may or may not develop the children's characters to hold off opening their gifts, but many mothers cannot resist the secret satisfaction that comes from enforcing this rule." Conversely, said Berne, "very small children cross their parents...
Gawking Soon. Meanwhile, Ted Wells saw to it that neither Julie nor her younger brother John lacked for his companionship. He frequently took the children picnicking, boating, swimming, climbing. Says Wells, 58, who now lives in rural Oakley, 40 miles southwest of London: "When I realized that she had this gift, I felt that she needed some kind of antidote to the artificiality of the stage. I remember when she was singing at the Winter Garden in Bournemouth, I went down with John to visit her. It was a blowy, gusty sort of day, and when I asked them what...
