Excerpt: “While it’s clear boomers are under siege, it’s less clear who they are. The baby boom itself, a quantifiable event that certainly produced Mrs. Clinton in 1947, nevertheless has controversial boundaries… Neil Howe and William Strauss argue in their book “Generations” that the baby boom actually began in 1943, when servicemen started coming home…The generation-spotter Jonathan Pontell, on the other hand, argues the boom began in 1942 and ended in 1953. He places Mr. Obama in “Generation Jones”.
