In 1968 could you imagine your Father saying; "I am too scared to go into work because I might catch the flu" My grandmother who is 95 and very lucid told me from the beginning she has never been more disgusted with the uniform cowardness of Americans - both with fear itself and not being able to distinguish what was heretofore not even close calls when it came to what was ethically/morally right/wrong. Further, she reserves her deepest disdain for those who knew that what was happening was ethically wrong but did/said nothing.
