(Lawrence O’Donnell is 72? I guess that’s what clean living can do for you.)

I remember 1968, not as a distinct year but as the series of events you outlined. Although I was only 10, it was the year I first started to watch network news, the first year I realized that there were nightly death counts from a place in Asia, the year I started to understand what politics was and how dangerous it could be. I remember the fear over the MLK Jr. assassination and I remember the broadcast from the Ambassador Hotel. I remember staying up to get the election results.

I need to buy O’Donnell’s book.

well I've got Audible's version, and it's really some well-produced product

I've dipped into it since it appeared on Amazon, but now I plan on a real reading, all the way through. from those first dips it seemed very accurate historically, even while it demonstrated a real passion for the material.

so I'm returning!
