MCMLXVIII (June 24, 2007)

Thus a sign printed on the back of a T-shirt that attracted my attention in the tourist crowd this afternoon. When I looked up, I saw the gray head of a man about my age. He also had a beard the length of his bushy hair. Yes, I concluded with palpable pleasure, my fellow “68er.” And my fellow ancient in this godforsaken world. As well as one blessed with classical humor.
