(1.) First Baby Boomers Turn 65 — The first wave of Baby Boomers — the group of Americans born after soldiers returned home from World War II — turns 65 this month. There are 79 million Baby Boomers, making up a quarter of the US population, according to the Pew Research Center. To find out what this milestone means to members of this group, host Michel Martin speaks with Kathy Casey-Kirschling, the country’s first Boomer born one second after midnight on January 1, 1946 and Shelby Steele, who was born later that same day. They are joined by Paul Taylor, co-author of a new Pew survey on Baby Boomers.
