Everybody is trying to make sense out of the the "Baby Boomers" coming of age party in the 1960s. The cause of this tumuletous decade of upheaval and change is no real mystery. The stage was inevitably set nearly 20 years before on August 6th 1945.The "Baby Boomers" are the first generation in the history of mankind to ONLY have known a world where man could cause a mass extinction of his own species.

Symbolic imagery is very important when political campaigns are largely mass media driven. For instance in the old days a candidate would travel from town to town on the railroad giving speeches at every stop.
