quickly and are not so{{U}} (55) {{/U}}on their parents. Events which
the older generation remember vividly are{{U}} (56) {{/U}}more than past
history, This is as it should be. Every new generation is{{U}} (57)
{{/U}}from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked
indeed. The old always assume that they know best for the

country.{{/U}} (67) {{U}}Admissions officers are poring essays and recommendation
letters, scouring transcripts and standardized test scores.{{/U}}
(68) {{U}}But anything is missing from many applications: a class ranking,
