U.S. B-52s carry out heavy bombing raids along the DMZ. In the United States, a radical protest group calling themselves the New Year’s Gang blew up in the Army Mathematics Research Center at the University of Wisconsin Army Mathematics Research Center in Madison. A graduate student who was working late was killed in the blast. The center, which reportedly was involved in war research, had been a focus for protest in the past, but previously protests had all been nonviolent.

Thanks for reminding us that while B-52s carry out heavy bombing raids along the DMZ radical protesters blew up in the Army Mathematics Research Center at the University of Wisconsin Army Mathematics Research Center in Madison SP5 Mark Kuzinski
The enemy was among us in those days in form of radical leftists like New Year’s Gang, as neo-nazi's and radical right terrorists blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma in the 1990s, and the new black panthers and ISIS and their disciples are threatening us today.

I remember the University bombing (it was a fertilizer bomb in a van as I recall). And was in DaNang as a weapons controller to take part in the B-52 strikes.
Those were even more toxic times than we see today, although we seem to be trying to get back there in our politics these days.
