The Good Old Days
By Christopher Lasch
Facing Life: Youth and the Family in American History
by Oscar Handlin, by Mary F. Handlin
Atlantic-Little Brown, 326 pp., $7.95
The Handlins' new book can best be described as a rather ill-tempered polemic against the 'troublemakers' of the Sixties, preceded by a 257-page historical introduction. The historical sections of the work are only tenuously related to the attack on student radicalism; indeed, they sometimes tend to undermine it.
