(The Unibomber tried to blow him up) It talks about how the 1960's fulfilled the promised future of the World's Fair. Also talks about every generation was full of hope for the future (even during the Depression, War, Korean War, Cold War and Vietnam) until the 70's. That's when America start to slide. I blame myself. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/038072748X/103-9598578-3476628?v=glance&n=283155 [ Edited by: pappythesailor 2006-02-06 13:13 ]
