"Recently, a young person asked me: 'What was it like in the 1960s?' I could have said something about Janis Joplin and drugs and women's liberation. But instead I said, 'What was it like? Oh, well, nobody in the country was being executed.' I might have added: Even in Texas. Can you imagine? In the 1960s hardly anyone was in prison either...In the 1960s, we had this freedom, which we no longer know we once had."
