From the Paper:

"The decade of the 1960's was full of political, cultural, and social events that made a major psychological impact on the students of America. Today's students have access to current events as part of the daily curriculum within a school setting, and most homes have cable access with a news channel available around the clock. However, during the sixties, students usually received news information via their parents, class discussions, the newspaper or within the thirty minutes of evening news presented by the three major networks known as CBS, NBC or ABC."
