The 1960s meant cultural upheaval—street activism, radical ideas, free love, psychedelic substances, drugs, leniency bordering on indulgence, and sex—lots of it, and for much of the world.

Outside, the fun, easy life beckons, and with not much mind about anything else, the long ride took time to turn around—thirty years. The trouble with such a life is it’s virtually impossible to pinpoint where the miss has started to occur.
