n 12 January 1970 “Count Marko” wrote in the Columbian: “Young people today, and
free-loading foundation-grant-grabbing adults, delight in perpetuating the myth
that all of today’s problems with adolescents are the result of a ‘generation
gap.’ As if there hasn’t always been a generation gap, no matter which century
one researches. … Now, suddenly, when a parent forbids a son or daughter to do
something, or go somewhere, it’s considered a ‘generation gap’ and a reason for
the spoiled brats of today to have nervous breakdowns, or join roving bands of
unwashed hippies. ... Without a generation gap civilization would come to a
disastrous halt.”
[From a clipping I saved for some reason. I must admit the
concept of the count doing research, especially research in another century,
rather boggles the mind.]
