The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
The 1960s transformed America. Tom Brokaw looks into the mixed legacy of the decade of tuning in, turning on, and dropping out. His new book is Boom!

Weigh in: We’d like to hear from people who came of age in the 1960s. When you consider the legacy of that decade, what are you most proud of? And what do you regret?

Events: Tom Brokaw will be speaking and signing books
Wednesday, November 14 at 7pm
Barnes & Noble at Union Square
