I've never heard of the Baby Boom generation starting with birth year 1943.  In terms of 
attitudes, I think that the "silent" generation continues through 1945.  The boundaries aren't 
entirely exact, but as one born during the war in 1945, I definitely noticed a difference in 
attitudes and styles in the class just behind mine, in high school, college, and law school.
