An article in the Boston Herald on the Baby Boom generation's refusal to age quietly quotes Elayne Rapping, professor emeritus of American studies, who said "Contrary to what younger generations think -- and I teach them, so I know -- we're not old fogies whose generation is dead. People in positions of power stay there for a long time. Fifty isn't old anymore. Hillary (Clinton) isn't old. Boomers are going to be around for a long time, running the country, running the media."
