The 1960's was a decade of U.S. idealism-there was a belief that our society could accomplish anything it set its mind to do. The decade opened with President Kennedy declaring that we would put a man on the moon by 1970.

Finally, President Johnson believed that we could have Great Society programs at home while fighting a war in Southeast Asia.
