<<Over the last 25 years, the history of the sixties
has been rewritten and distorted by a series of
ever-more conservative politicians and TV anchormen. 
(For that matter, the decade was grotesquely distorted
by the media while it was happening!)>>

The grotesque propaganda and outright lies foisted
upon an unwary nation by a cabal of TV anchormen.  And
what about the weathermen?  What about Warner Wolf?

<<Worst of all, as time passes and fewer people
actually remember the sixties, this distorted picture
becomes more and more difficult to challenge.>>

Yes, this is indeed tragic.  Eerily similar to what
happened to the Gay Nineties.

<<we (in the person of Thomas Pynchon) must define the
sixties, not the fascists represented in the person of
Brock Vond, the book's sadistic villain.>>

We must, surely, lest we wind up in a country run by
sadistic, villainous TV anchormen.
