Books, Arts & Manners: Lost Generation

Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts about the Sixties, by Peter Collier and David Horowitz (Summit, 337 pp., $19.95)

Bill Buckley, usually indulgent toward kids, shook his head vehemently. He didn’t think this generation was as intelligent or serious as the Old Left had been.
