“For the past several years, I've been harboring a fantasy, a last political crusade for the baby-boom generation. We, who started on the path of righteousness, marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam, need to find an appropriately high-minded approach to life's exit ramp.” NeedsYearsWarLastsPastPoliticalFantasyPathRightsGenerationsBabyApproachCivil RightsRighteousnessVietnamExitCrusadesRampBaby Boom Author:Joe Klein

“We're looking at a president [Barack Obama] who's engaged in double-speak where he doesn't call radical Islamic terrorism by its name.
