120. I remember feeling pretty hopeless as a young teen after JFK, MLK, RFK,

assasinations, the violence accompanying attempts to stifle the early civil rights movement (my parents were convinced civil war was inevitable), the ticking down of the doomsday clock predicting nuclear Armageddon, the nightly horror of Vietnam, the murder of innocent war protestors at Kent State...

So, only 20-30 years after the "Big War," all of this was going on. Put in perspective, all that is going on now may be part of an unfortunate cycle, but one that can end without the worst case scenario coming to pass....
