Commentator Frederica Mathewes-Green (fred-REE-kah MATH-yooz GREEN) has noticed a generation switch with her children. She says they sport long hair and bellbottoms and seem to want to conform to a stage-managed version of her own adolescence and rebellion from the 60's. But her youngest son has turned the generational clock back even further. He's a 14 year old Rat Packer...adopting a version of rebellion more in line with his grandmother's generation.
