Thirty years ago American political life was all relentless,
painful, and confounding: the Tet Offensive brought new intensity
to the Vietnam War; President Lyndon Johnson would not seek
re-election; Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy were
assassinated; student protests rocked France; a Soviet invasion
ended "socialism with a human face" in Czechoslovakia; the Mexican
government massacred scores of peaceful demonstrators; and Richard
M. Nixon was elected president. Any one of the events of 1968 bears
claim to historical significance. Together they set off shock waves
that divided Americans into new and contending categories: hawks
and doves, old and young, feminists and chauvinists, straights and
hippies, blacks and whites, militants and moderates. As citizens
alive to their own time and as reporters responsible for making
sense of it, journalists did not stand aside from the conflicts of
1968. In their lives and in their work, they grappled with
momentous issues--war, politics, race, and protest.
