- The New York Times called Dr. Roszak "the generation’s cheerleader" for baby boomers, chronicling and extolling their youthful counterculture (a name he coined) and campus rebellions, and their "journey from hippies to hip replacement." He taught for 35 years at what is now California State University, East Bay, retiring in 1998.
