Stevnson made an appeal to reason and a plea for rationality in the most irrational appointments system on earth - open market democracy. His lot was to be the most noble loser imaginable (his fate as he forsaw) but his example of high minded politics is an inspiration.
No. his discussion is relevant at any age or at NO age.
It depends upon whether one has spent time in learning of American history, the 1950's era, and Mr Stevenson. ONE THING EACH MUST LEARN.... One generation ALWAYS thinks it is uniquely challenged. All ARE but in relatively smalldegrees. For example, the 1950's saw American politics in great divisions, Communist liberal to John Birch Conservative.
What utter anachronisms. rich people talking at a rich university a million miles from reality. The political world of AES has vanished. He and Eisenhower spoke to a relatively united society, ours is riven with factions with politicians trying to shave off just enough to control power. This discussion must be incomprehensible to anyoen under 30.
