<<Brock Vonds's genius was to have seen in the
activities of the sixties left not threats to order
but unacknowledged desires for it.>>

I saw a similar idea recently, I think in a review of
Louis Menand's recent book of essays.  It was noted
that the sixties was in many ways profoundly
conservative, even narrow-minded; those for whom the
sixties is best remembered (radicals, hippies) were
harshly judgemental of  everyone who didn't look and
think as they did.  One had merely to be too old (the
cut-off being thirty!) or short-haired or like the
wrong music to be written off.
