demystifying his job

The nation's first baby-boomer president always seemed like an avatar of his generation, defined by the struggles of the 60's and Vietnam, comfortable in the use of touchy-feely language, and intent on demystifying his job. And yet the former president's account of his life, read in this post-9/11 day, feels strangely like an artifact from a distant, more innocent era.

Vietnam = Vietnam War;
Demystifying his job? Yes, for most of us, a president's job is almost a mystery. But hey, here said "always seemed like an avatar of his generation, defined by the struggles of the 60's and Vietnam" -- that is, he is a typical representative of his generation, his contemporaries are used to "comfortable in the use of touchy-feely language, and intent on demystifying his job". I don't think there was a mystery in the job of most of them
