Children of the baby boom generation and the rising influence of the postwar consumer boom. The American People are not to be led to believe the way you answer the question that we intentionally deceived the American People or had the intent to begin with.

That was vaguely reminiscent to some of the stuff we worked on, and all of a sudden, everybody seemed to want to show up. This is just fantastic. Raise your hands if you were on the committee staff.
