Description
The year is 1970¿It is a turbulent, often violent, yet idealistic time. Over a third of a million American young people are serving in Vietnam. The various segments that compose American society peer distrustfully at one another across barricades drawn by age, race, social class, and wealth. One of the highest of these barricades is that drawn by age. A military incursion into Cambodia on April 30 touches off violent riots throughout the nation that eventually force over five hundred institutions of higher learning to shut down early for the summer.
