From the Editor: She’s Baaack!

Mrs. Clinton has reached the age of fifty, and Time magazine devotes nine pages to examining this symbol of an entire generation of women-or at least of “its passionate front line.”

“The cutting edge of female Baby Boomers approached adulthood with a wild, subversive earnestness. These women would change the world, have careers, build strong marriages, raise good children and keep their sense of humor. Hillary has been a beneficiary of these expectations, and as First Lady also their most conspicuous victim.”
