What last hurrah? Many write back. Also: Gilmore's man. What Rudy gaffe? Harry's slippage. Feeling very much alone. Lousy chicken. Plus more.

The
Hippies' Last Hurrah

p>Mr. Tyrrell Jr. posits in his post, "The Hippies' Last Hurrah,"
that "As I say, there is something familiar in the air this
spring." Yes, there is. How familiar it is to hear his YAF
petite bourgeois
dismissal of a world gone mad or at least
left. As uncomfortable as it may be Jr., the hippies won this
debate a long time ago, in the '60s. It's no surprise that your
aging side of the aisle has gotten us into the same old mess your
godfathers did before. What has changed is that the left is the
mainstream. Furthermore, we don't revere these putative leaders you
have thrown up at us. We are taking care of business ourselves.
Even
Time
magazine could see that. So, when you wake up
from your fantasy America, turn on your computer and pass the whole
wheat bread.
