Nice historical and entertaining piece not only for those who lived during the time, or know someone who did. While the Viet Nam/Iraq wars remain topical comparisons, overall the piece reinforces the lasting impact the year 1968, and the whole 60's era had on domestic and world history. Mark Kurlansky elaborates quite well on significant events pre and post 1968, and the host adds to the significance of the topic. I would have given this the highest rating except that there have already been a few other extensive print pieces featuring the year on the anniversaries (1988, 1998). Be sure to also check out "Salt, a World History" by Mark Kurlansky.
