The furies and griefs that are recalled as the essence of the '60s began not in 1960 but at the death of John Kennedy. Then came that brutal ransacking of the national spirit that did not even pause at the end of 1969 but continued through the disillusionments of Watergate. The '60s did not really let go until Richard Nixon resigned...
