Brilliant! My husband and I still remember Prague Spring. We were just 18. 1968. It started with the Viet Cong overrunning the US Embassy during Tet. Then Johnson withdrew from the race for the Presidency. Martin Luther King was assassinated. Bobby Hutton was killed. Prague Spring. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. Danny the Red. And then, the police riot in Chicago during the Democratic Convention. The Cleaver Controversy at UC Berkeley. Eldridge going to Cuba. ........ Richard Nixon.

1969. In Berkeley, it was the beginning and the end.
