From David Brooks’ The Kennedy Mystique: “Something fundamental has shifted in the Democratic Party….The grandparents and children united against the parents…The respect for institutions that was prevalent during the early ’60s is prevalent with the young again today. The earnest industriousness that was common then is back today. The awareness that we are not self-made individualists, free to be you and me, but emerge as parts of networks, webs and communities; that awareness is back again today.”
