In light of the Obama's "post-Boomer" message, generational boundaries are a hot topic. This is from Sunday's NYTs, S&H are heavily referenced:

I think S&H got pretty fair play as the mainstream media goes.

And that "Generation Joshua" thing was spooky. Who would be the Canaanites?

Yeah, I won't speculate on that!

The print version had a little chart with the Census bureau boundaries, etc. According to the chart, S&H are the only ones that assign a generation to every birth year. I think it was the Census bureau that doesn't have my cohort year assigned to any generation at all.

Well, you know what they say about the Class of '85.

Meanwhile, Generation X keeps getting younger:

Check out the seventh paragraph from the bottom.
But maybe if the putative Robin Hoods stopped trying to take from law-abiding citizens and give to criminals, take from men and give to women, take from believers and give to anti-believers, take from citizens and give to "undocumented" immigrants, and take from heterosexuals and give to homosexuals, they might have a lot more success in taking from the rich and giving to everyone else.

Generation Joshua would probably be very foreign sounding to all except those astute students of the Bible. Yet Joshua has been one of the more poipular birth names for males in recent times. We may know more next year on how valid S & H's line or demarcation is if Obama is elected and does indeed take the country in a new direction. Not sure if Bill Clinton accomplised the same in 1993 although such was glkorified suring the previous election.
