DAVID HARSANYI: Who Are We in This ‘Sputnik Moment’? Plus this: “Really, was this country ever about being proud that your children ended up in the same plant you slaved in for 30 years? Even with a promise of a union pension and — if you’re lucky — an ‘occasional’ promotion, it sounds like a soul-crushing grind you’d want your offspring to escape, tout de suite.” A place for everyone, and everyone in his place: That’s the new progressive motto! Especially the “everyone in his place” part.
