Guess it depends on how where you lay down the markers for the  
"Sixties." If I were to chart the "sixties" as cultural cataclysm—an  
anarchist miracle, so to speak—I'd say they started with the  
assassination of JKF and ended with Watergate. In any case I'll bet  
that Doc Sportello is going to look at a lot of back-dated evidence  
and espouse more than his fair share of nostalgia for the age of gold.
