Folks, I know this has come up time and again on the list.
However. those of you, like me, who don't pay attention to something until
you _really_ need it will understand why I'm asking the question again.
The time has come when I_really_ need to pay attention.

Next semester I'm teaching a required senior capstone for
undergraduate liberal arts majors. I'm pursuing a committee-selected theme
called "American Destinies," which can be pretty loosely interpreted to
cover the course designer's interests. What else would I choose but the
'60s, naturally.

Here's my question to the list: If you had to choose just two
works--one in the humanities and one in the social sciences--that you
wouldn't want students in an interdisciplinary course on the '60s to miss,
which two would you choose and why? By "works," I mean

--fiction, drama, poetry,and essays, book-length or otherwise;
--film, whether documentary or cinema;
--political analysis;
--history;
--and biography and autobiography.

If I've left out any critical genres, please remind me. To make
matters harder, I ask that you limit your choices to works that are still
in print.

Looking forward to seeing your suggestions, critiques, and
counter-suggestions.

Sandra Flowers
