Book excerpt: On New Year's Eve, 1967, Bobby met up with some of his former school friends in Vidalia to bring in the New Year and to catch up on their accomplishments and their goals. They used this opportunity to kick up their heels before returning to the world of work, education, and armed services draft registration for the Vietnam War. Not long afterward came the notification of Sammy Galloway's "casualty" in the Tet Offensive. Now all that mattered to Bob was protesting the Vietnam War, parties and getting stoned. No place was better suited for the Hedonistic Paradise for the Disilusioned young man than Boston. In 1970 the war spilled into Cambodia with the students of Boston and Cambridge erupting in rage. They marched to the Harvard Bridge that joins Boston with Cambridge. It was called ""The Great Harvard Square Riot of 1970" and was witnessed by Bob Darby who relates what he saw.""
