1968
Tue, Nov 4
Listen
It's another presidential election year; the American people are deeply divided and deeply entrenched in another unpopular war. The topic is not 2008, but 1968. If 1967 was the Summer of Love, maybe 1968 was the Summer of Hate. We hear the songs, speeches, and news reports of the times. We go live to the demonstrations, and drink "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test."

And we hear college students in Chicago discuss Democracy.
