First Paperback Edition, First Printing "'[Clausen's] concern is the range of forces that shaped the lives of men and women whose childhoods happened to take place in the '30s - in particular the "combination of constitutional attributes, parental guidance, social contacts, and the ability . . . to make wise choices relatively early in their adult lives." . . . Presenting life histories that are not merely anecdotal but detailed, persuasive evidence, he weighs the impact of what he calls "adolescent planful competence" on personal development and success'" [Excerpt on the back cover from a review by noted historian Joseph E.
