</a></font><font size=3><i>1968 was a world revolution. From Mexico
City to Tokyo, Paris to Prague, Columbia University to Berkeley, it was a
revolutionary event that at once failed and transformed the world. The
process it put into place continues today. 1968, the long '68,
altered fundamental balances of power and set the stage for today's new
movements. '68 was a great rehearsal. For what, it is up to
us to decide. <br><br>
