Acknowledgments
In a less than serious but scarcely frivolous way I make the claim of teaching the longest-running course on the 1960s. In a very real sense, I have been constructing this book since that distant fall of 1971. I therefore have many folks to thank for their help in keeping me going over this quarter century.
My first thank you is to all of my studentsat least most of them!for their enthusiasms, for their inquisitiveness, for their willingness to ask those "dumb" questions that have often been my leads to a fresh look at the 1960s. I am not of the camp that bemoans how badly today's students pale before their baby-boom predecessors.
I must express my gratitude to the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey for providing me with a number of research grants that helped this work along. In particular, let me thank President Vera King Farris and Dean David L. Carr for their gracious

support. The deepest and warmest appreciation goes out to the wonderful office staff of the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences: the divisional administrator, Barbara R. Rosenblatt; Anne Glapion; Gail Gregson; Patricia Pruitt; Patti Williamson; and especially, for particular assistance beyond the call, Teresa Steinke. They are truly a group of people who make the office a home away from home.
My colleagues at the college have been most supportive. In particular, I want to thank those who have read parts or all of these essays: Bill Gilmore-Lehne, Stephen Dunn, Joe Rubenstein, and Laurie Greene. Others have participated in our Faculty Works-in-Progress Seminar, providing me with a forum for testing my interpretations: Dick Colby, Dave Emmons, Gholam-Reza Ghorashi, Alan Mattlage, and Ed and Jan Paul. I also wish to express appreciation to my social work colleagues for allowing me to wear several academic hats: Diana Batten, Gus Fierro, William C. Jaynes IV, Sherman Labovitz, Patricia Reid-Merritt, and John Searight.
There are three couplescolleagues and their quite extraordinary wiveswho have forced me to sharpen my narrative with tender but firm, loving care, aided by exceedingly scrumptious dinners: Polly Davies and Bill Sensiba, Melaku and Roman Lakew, and Joe and Helen Walsh. They really don't know how valuable they have been to the formulation of these interpretive essays. Food for thought, indeed!
The librarians at the college have always gone out of their way to assist me. Special thanks go to Mary Ann Trail, Gail Baldwin, and Carolyn Gutierrez.
