The Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California, has timelines of critical years in his life, like 1968, when he became a presidential candidate on February 4. Then he coined the phrase “Bring Us Together” in his November victory speech. During the intervening nine months, the 10,000th plane was lost in Vietnam, Charlie Company slaughtered 500 citizens in My Lai, Martin Luther King, Andy Warhol and Bobby Kennedy were shot, numerous riots occurred in the name of peace, the Yippee Movement was born, and Jimi Hendrix released his last two albums as The Experience. It was a memorable year.
