...easier because of the "they're all pampered children of the middle class" theory. He is struck by the fact that so many terrorist acts have taken place in West Germany, Italy and Japan, the three defeated Axis powers of World War II. Among the disaffected youth of these countries, he suggests, "there is a sense of shame and disgust with the older generation who rose to prosperity on the bones of a lot of people and won't admit...
...Philadelphia story was one of the most elaborate Pulitzer-winning investigations since the Watergate days of Woodward and Bernstein-a pair that Neumann, 28, and Marimow, 30, evoke in their youth, dedication and hand-in-glove collaborative ease.

Critics blamed...
...show was never intended to be straight nostalgia. It was intended to be ambiguous, to have an edge of irony. The point was that it was an amazing thing for us that even the music of our youth was already an old thing... we could make fun of our former selves and indulge in simple fantasies that we knew didn't define...
