Nixon Deja Vu? [View all]

Wondering if anyone who was teenaged or adult in the late 60s/early 70s might be interested in commenting about what the mood was like then versus now. I'm thinking in particular about the 1970 shooting at Kent State. Did things then seem as if they were getting out of control, and that the authoritarian hand was closing on political opponents of the president? Because that's how I feel now, and I'm interested to know how people coped with life then.
