SILENT GENERATION

The name 'Silent Generation' was coined in the November 5, 1951 cover story of ''Time'' to refer to the generation within the United States coming of age at the time. The phrase gained further currency after William Manchester's comment that the members of this generation were "withdrawn, cautious, unimaginative, indifferent, unadventurous and silent."
The name was subsequently used by Strauss and Howe in their book ''Generations'' as their designation for that generation in the United States of America born from 1925 to 1945.
