Local blogger was TIME’s Man of the Year
Posted By katie allison granju
Rob Lloyd is looking back at the year when TIME recognized him:
In 1967 Time chose the under-25 generation as its Man of the Year. It was me, and if you’re reading a midlife blog, it was probably you too.
Time wrote, “In its lifetime, this promising generation could land on the moon, cure cancer and the common cold, lay out blight-proof, smog-free cities, help end racial prejudice, enrich the underdeveloped world and, no doubt, write an end to poverty and war.”
A lot was expected
The June issue of Vanity Fair has Bobby Kennedy on the cover.
The cover story is excerpted from the forthcoming book The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America by Thurston Clarke. It’s accompanied by terrific photographs from A Time It Was: Bobby Kennedy in the Sixties. It takes me back to that time when we were Time’s Man of the Year and we were going to end poverty and war, just like Time said we would.
