Unlike their Seventies Standards, THIS SMB Classic was written back in 1968. The Vietnam War, the Protests, the Chicago Convention Riots (not to mention the Bloody Riot there and in DC after MLK was Assassinated) the RFK Assassination, and the Radicals Not accepting Candidate Humphrey. NO MTV back then, but I can just SEE in my mind's eye, the Hippies, the Yippies, the Hell's Angels-ALL the Craziness.
@drpoundsign Me thinks you've been influenced to make too much of the "Radicals". All sorts of people weren't happy with LBJ's party nor Nixon's party (dems, and repbuglicans). 71 & 72 things were beginning to simmer down, and the big change was like in 67 to 70.

No recovery from that, and maybe that was the biggest part of it all - to suck the life blood out of democracy, freedom and the middle class - just like today! Keep the up and coming down and falling...as in dead. Same sides, the same lessons not learned- that's 50 plus years of crap. One cover up after another. How do you spell conspiracy? "Status quo" or "denial"?
