ABSTRACT
T he storms of the sixties were becoming more electric as the climactic year 1968 began. In October 1967, Che Guevara was captured and killed in Bolivia with CIA assistance. Weeks later, one hundred thousand protesters surrounded and threatened to storm the Pentagon. Senator Eugene McCarthy was enlisting college students for his primary challenge to the president. Plans were afoot for confronting war-makers at the Chicago Democratic National Convention the following August. Unimaginable shocks lay just ahead: the Tet Offensive, the murders of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, urban riots, campus strikes, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, uprisings in countries around the world.
