At the beginning of the 1960s, many Americans believed they were standing at the dawn of a golden age - Camelot if you will. On January 20, 1961, the handsome and charismatic John F. Kennedy became president of the United States. His New Frontier confidence would place a man on the moon, while pushing back Communism in Cuba. By 1968, one of the most turbulent years in American history, it seemed that the nation was falling apart under President Lyndon Johnson.  From JFK's Cuban Missile Crisis to that fateful day in Dallas, LBJ's Great Society to landing on the moon by decade's end - community and consensus lay in tatters.
