By LAURA A. MOORE
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 11:24 PM
From the start, Samuels makes it clear that his mission is to show what has happened to us, the generation raised long after the optimism of the ’60s has waned.

“I don’t watch TV.” That’s got to be the most common response I hear whenever I get giddy about my favorite subject, and while it isn’t exclusive to Harvard, I encounter it here most often. I’ve never heard any of my classmates say that they don’t see movies, don’t read novels, or don’t like art, but when it comes to the idiot box, the claws come out.
