It was indeed a sad period.

Huntington, Samuel P. et al. The Crisis of Democracy: Report on the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (NY: NYU Pr., 1975), p. 98. "Truman had been able to govern the country with the cooperation of a relatively small number of Wall Street lawyers and bankers. By the mid-1960s, the sources of power in society had diversified tremendously, and this was no longer possible." -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929
