Unfortunately, there seems to be little institutional memory of the late 1960s.
I like Roach alot, but statements like this make me wonder if he's living in a different world. I doubt there's institutional memory of the late 1980's at this point. The 1960's might as well be the 1860's to today's member of the relevant institutions. Remembering the policy mistakes of the 1960's never got anyone promoted.
