Reply #127: Thanks to you both

I do not want to distort the historical record! I also do not want to contribute to misinformation. Thank you for your corrective information. I did get much of my info on what was going on in the sixties from Time and Life magazines. My hero Frank Zappa actually wrote some articles for Life magazine and maybe even Look back then. Hot Rods, Corvettes and dragsters took up most of my share of mind in my youth, not politics.

I grew up near Stony Brook University on Long Island. It was called "the Berkley of the East" by some, but I don't think there was much noteworthy going on there in the protest era. But, for the little attention I paid to all the riots, I was just glad the riots never made it to my neighborhood.

I went to Buffalo State college in the later seventies. It was said that the newer parts were designed to curb student riots and there were secret underground tunnels for the authorities to deal with rioting students.
