Rob:

<<By 1968-9, the time depicted in the novel, the
counterculture had forgotten all about civil rights
and the Vietnam War, and this is something which *is*
referred to and depicted in the text. >>

I'm not getting into this discussion on either side or
criticizing the gist of Rob's argument necessarily,
but  the above statement is certainly not true and a
rather astonishing comment.  

Nixon's elelction, the Chicago riots, the murders of
Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King--all occured in
1968; the draft was still in effect, the bombing raids
into Cambodia were still to come ... 

Drugs do play havoc with memory, but the collective
mind of the "counterculture" (another catch-all term
that should be rubbished for its meaninglessness)
wasn't quite so addled as that.
