IPer's --

Recent comments about how we live in dangerous and
chilling times (after 9/11) should be seen in perspective
to 1968, when:

- 25000 American soldiers had been killed in 3 years of the
  Vietnam War.

- The leading proponents for change (Martin Luther
  King and Robert F. Kennedy) were assassinated.

- The Soviet Union was considered a nuclear threat 
  that could wipe out the United States in a day.

- Protesters against the war in Chicago during the
  Democratic National Convention were stopped with
  police-state tactics.


I have posted rare video tape footage of CBS News
on April 4, the day Martin Luther King was assassinated,
and ABC News coverage of the Democratic National 
Convention from Aug 28, 1968, the night of the largest
riots, the fight over the Vietnam War plank (whether to
change Democratic party plank to allow Vietnam the
right to determine its own government and stop bombing
the north) and Vice Presidents Humphrey's nomination.
