To A New Generation ' (President John F. Kennedy) 1969 was the year of the Underdog. The Jets won the Super Bowl, the Mets won the World Series, and the United States beat Russia To the moon. However, Avis never quite became Number one, and Shirley Temple never quite became Congresswoman from California. Machines ran American industry Inthel960 ' s. Faced with the prospect Of more free time, many Americans Turned to such dubious diversions As alcohol, drugs, sex, and golf. In looking back at the Sixties, one can see a decade Of tremendous motion. Some, Of course, would say that It was motion in the wrong Direction. Others, however, Feel that in the latter Half of this decade people Truly began to get Together — an act which, If allowed to continue, could Be the greatest omen of the Century.
