In a sense they are a generation caught in the middle-not products of Vietnam, but not Nintendo ( 日本电子游戏机名 ) kids, either.82 What is Not true of the generation of America in question?（A）They were born from 1957 - 1971.（B） The generation consists of 60.3 million Americans.（C） The generation accounts for 25 percent of the American population.（D）The generation has experienced challenges and domestic chaos.83 In the authors o
