...didn't quite turn out that way on the streets of Cambridge--though 19 days later at Kent State and 30 days later at Jackson State the prediction would prove apt enough--but the comment reflected the tenor of the times. Police shut down Widener and Lamont Libraries after receiving an anonymous bomb threat. We might not always do this, they say, but in times like these we have to. For the hell of it one day, about 15 kids, aged ten to 13 according to reports, decided to have some fun. They stood on the Weeks Memorial Bridge...

The father of New--or what he calls "Gonzo"--Journalism, Thompson helped shatter the image of the solemn, mild-mannered reporter by writing pieces that would have turned Clark Kent's blue hair white.

In October, despite the valiant attempts of demonstrators to reason with construction workers and policemen, even such limited conversion...
...YEARS AGO Sunday National Guardsmen murdered four students, part of a crowd in a grassy field at Kent State University to rally against the invasion of Cambodia and the war in Vietnam. Those killings touched off nationwide protest and mourning; across America high schools and colleges closed, and in cities and towns police battled those who could contain themselves no longer and in the face of violence reacted violently. Eleven days later police killed two more students and wounded a dozen at Jackson State University in Mississippi, sparking another round of protest...
