No, I in fact have tried to sell a more measured view of the '60s, to no avail. I consider the Great Society to have been a failure, mostly, but an instructive failure. I think that Vietnam should have been either avoided or waged more aggressively, I have not decided which. I support Federal civil rights legislation, something had to break the back of segregation. I deplore the excesses of the sexual revolution, but think that some such reassessment was inevitable. I support basic feminism (respect for individual differences and aspirations among females as well as males), but not radical feminism. I think that the ugliness over the civil rights movement (like the infamous dogs and hoses in Selma) and the lack of confidence in the war effort made social turmoil inevitable, and undermined authority. Add Watergate, and it is amazing that things came out as well as they did........
