    • 1978 January 4, Lynn Ames, “Sweet Sixteen: A Rite That Persists”, in The New York Times[1], →ISSN:
      But one tradition associated with the age hangs on: the Sweet Sixteen celebration. Symptomatic of at least a partial swing away from counterculture sentiments, the Sweet Sixteen party—relatively dormant during the anti‐Establishment turmoil of the late 60's and early 70's—is becoming popular again as a way of marking the 16th birthday.
