But the shocker was the assassination of Kennedy. It was, again, not social
chaos, but it was a shocking event that signaled some sort of underlying
weird something going on. I would say the civil-rights marches, the murders
of people, murders in the South of civil-rights activists, that was very
shocking. By social chaos, what I mean is Berlin being bombed. That was
social chaos. The Blitz in London. But again, people were very organized.
It’s astonishing how organized they were and how little social chaos there
was. How much more you might have expected.
