Re-Create '68? The coming of 2008 has triggered a spate of articles about how we were 40 years ago, in 1968. 40 seems to be a magic number, packing some powerful symbolism. Maybe it goes back to the Bible. Have we been wandering, since 1968, 40 years in the wilderness? Is there some promised land at hand? It hardly seems likely. But lots of writers are finding it instructive to reflect back on how things were 40 years ago. Or perhaps, like me, they just can't resist the temptation to draw comparisons.

Re-Create '68?

The coming of 2008 has triggered a spate of articles about how we were 40 years ago, in 1968. 40 seems to be a magic number, packing some powerful symbolism. Maybe it goes back to the Bible. Have we been wandering, since 1968, 40 years in the wilderness? Is there some promised land at hand? It hardly seems likely.

But lots of writers are finding it instructive to reflect back on how things were 40 years ago. Or perhaps, like me, they just can't resist the temptation to draw comparisons.
