1968 The Israelis and their promoters won't say anything about the anniversary of Robert Kennedy's assassination -- they don't want people to remember he was killed because of the Palestinian issue, just a year after the 1967 war when emotions were at fever pitch for the Palestinian

1968 Democratic convention:
Nowhere else during that decade was dissension so dramatically opposed as on the streets of Chicago during the turbulent Democratic National Convention in August 1968. The barbed wire-laced jeeps in Grant Park evoked images of Russian tanks in the streets of Prague.
