What happened in 1968 and why? From a bloody war in Vietnam to a bloody struggle for equality in our nation's streets, what is the legacy of '68? Taking opposing sides on that year, “Firing Line” host, and “National Review” editor-at-large, William F. Buckley Jr. and “Vanity Fair” contributing editor Christopher Hitchens take a look back, explaining the rights and wrongs of the Right and the Left, and their personal triumphs and regrets.
