This Month: Inside the October Issue

| | | | | | | | PREVIEW OUR NEW ISSUE OCTOBER 2010 EDITOR'S NOTE Can Boomers Lead? By James Bennet       FEATURES The Least We Can Do Things haven’t quite worked out as planned for the Baby Boomers: near the end of their watch, America is widely reviled, prosperity seems like a mirage, and things are generally going to hell. What could they do to make amends? By Michael Kinsley       The Story of a Generation Forty years after the comic strip began, its commune-dwelling characters—Mike, Zonker, B.D., Joanie, and the rest—have moved on to Boomer adulthood. Their evolution offers a telling chronicle of the past four decades, and what it felt like to live through them. By Garry Trudeau       Autism’s First Child In 1943, 10-year-old Donald Triplett was diagnosed with a mysterious disorder unlike anything reported before. Now 77, he is showing the world what autism can look like in adulthood—and what challenges lie ahead for the nation’s tens of thousands of autistic children. By John Donvan and Caren Zucker       VIDEO: The authors reveal how they tracked Donald down and why they found his long, happy life so encouraging. The Salesman Joe Biden really, truly did not want to be vice president. But almost two years in, he’s found his stride. And his unique life trajectory— by turns tragic, comic, and triumphant—may have made him the perfect man for a highly imperfect job. By Mark Bowden       DISPATCHES Judgment Day How Arnold Schwarzenegger might just have saved California By Marc Ambinder       SLIDESHOW: The most memorable moments of Arnold’s career Tyranny’s Got Talent At the next Junior Eurovision contest, Europe’s most repressive regime will go pop. By Peter Savodnik       Design Within Reach A blind architect relearns his craft. By Douglas McGray       All War Is Local For one close-knit National Guard Unit from Arkansas, Afghanistan hits home. By Brian Mockenhaupt       Fertility Rites Chimp sperm may unlock one of the riddles of human conception. But first you have to collect it. By Jon Cohen       French Connections Gallic ingenuity has turned failing farms and rundown châteaus into hidden tourist gems. By Marc Herman       SLIDESHOW: A photo tour of charming guesthouses in the French countryside School for Hackers The do-it-yourself movement revives learning by doing. By Mark Frauenfelder       VIDEO: The author describes his personal experiences of hand-making everything from wooden spoons to musical instruments. BOOKS Prep Is Dead, Long Live Prep How a subculture gained the world and lost its soul By Benjamin Schwarz       Smaller Than Life Jonathan Franzen’s juvenile prose creates a world in which nothing important can happen. By B. R. Myers       Almost Noble Tony Blair’s memoir reveals him to be neither a cynic nor an innocent, but a man of some principle. By Christopher Hitchens       COLUMNS The Bright Side Some small businesses are struggling to get credit, but that’s the least of their problems. Those that survive the recession will be stronger for it and lead the economy’s recovery. By Megan McArdle       The Jackass Effect As Johnny Knoxville and friends release their newest film, has everyone finally wearied of their absurdist, violent, and sublime daredevilry? Or is it now in our cultural DNA? By James Parker       VIDEO: James Parker unearths scenes of the mayhem, daring, and absurdist violence that have made Jackass a lasting cultural phenomenon.
