Sometimes .I envy the young,.
But very often, my heart aches
for them. They haven"t much,
in, the ' Wayof : armor,: yott
know, in an adult dominated`.'
world: And that's- why they so
often rebel and run away' from
home ' or get married, or do
something which . even they ..
kpovt is stupid.
Today's young,. people are •
confused and battered, by an
assault of. sights,: sounds and .
ideas they simply can't cope
with.
Nothing is .easier . than' to
,riticise them. They're. .spoiled
rotten.. They have •too ;'much
money. They're .f bone ' lazy.,
They're utterly selfish: ;They're.
immoral.; They're materialistic,
They:have'•no sense of •respon-
;ibility;...:and so on.
There is nothings that rasps •

envy springs a general rancor
which comes' out as a petulant

Today's.- generation. • of teens-,
gere has more money, more,.
freedom, more luxury than any
in history. It's •pretty hard for
a man who grew up during the
depression — and, .has worked
like. a dog all his life. — to be
anything but sore when ., he,
sees a young punk just out of
:school riding around in a red:
convertible, :with. a doll lolling
on his shoulder.
But what he doesn'tremem
ber. is :that while ,the kids have
all the ., "mores mentioned
above, they have some others. ,•
They • have more work, .more•
d e c i 'si o n 's, more pressures,
more problems; , more tempta-
