This feeds into our 'reading' of Morgan's 'What Really Happened to the 1960s'. I am reading (at the speed of Ravi), yet this quote, and CC's mention of 'good king, bad king' earlier today, are the only connections that I've been able to make to any of Morgan's content. Has this reading been abandoned?
