In the ultimate large sense of this, all the toxic orders of together atlowed Kent State University and the first weekend of may in 1970 it was an age of hate. Was an age of distrust. It was a generational divide. Right now, the museum laura davis was talking about, does a wonderful job of capturing all of this. Is a gem of the museum. That has a wonderful walk you can take, narrated and if you are anywhere near kent, stop and do it. In the more immediate sense, you nixons speech to that thursday, in which he announced the extension of the war into cambodia, after saying he was going to bring 150,000 troops and that was a time bomb waiting to opt, which it did the next evening in the bars offcampus.
