re: #145 Hecuba’s daughter

…the 1960s were a time of turmoil— the assassination of a President, his brother, and a civil rights icon, a draft which sent millions of young Americas to fight an endless war in Vietnam, violence in the South over civil rights, the ever present fear of nuclear holocaust. … it was an epoch of fear and uncertainty. It was not an idyllic era.

We still lived in the hope that things would get better through science and technology, still believed that if you worked hard you could have a better life for you and your children.
