He rode it. And he did his best to describe it. Now history has come full circle again. It's not Vietnam, it's Iraq. It's not civil rights for Blacks, it's for gays. It is a time of division here in the USA. From this division we will either make a better nation we can be proud of - or all end up in prison for not thinking the "Right Way."
Good luck.

In many aspects he was right in stating that the fantastic peak of the middle sixties would never return. If you paid any attention to his coverage of life in America leading up to his death, you would realized he seriously questioned America and from his apect babies were being born in to more depraved times.
