Most of the students entering College this fall, members of the Class of 2011, were born in 1989. For them, Alvin Ailey, Andrei Sakharov, Huey Newton, Emperor Hirohito, Ted Bundy, Abbie Hoffman, and Don the Beachcomber have always been dead.

3. Rush Limbaugh and the “Dittoheads” have always been lambasting liberals.

12. Religious leaders have always been telling politicians what to do, or else!

23. Wal-Mart has always been a larger retailer than Sears and has always employed more workers than GM.

39. Fox has always been a major network.

45. They learned about JFK from Oliver Stone and Malcolm X from Spike Lee.

53. Tiananmen Square is a 2008 Olympics venue, not the scene of a massacre.

64. Chavez has nothing to do with iceberg lettuce and everything to do with oil.
