Ah, Wayne "Kicked In The Head By A Horse" Morse, as the Daily News editpage used to call him.

Any time people are tempted to feel nostalgic about the 60s, it pays to remember: 1) most Americans believed the government wouldn't lie to them, 2) anyone who opposed imperialist war was viciously red-baited, 3) and it wasn't until fairly late in the decade there was a large antiwar movement. Now, lots of people don't believe the government (sometimes to unfortunate extremes and there's a relatively large and active antiwar movement. Protesters are planning to occupy congressional district offices all over the country, for example. Things could be lots worse.
