The world changed and I changed forever in 1968. It was like a tidal wave - I was swept up in a torrent of change. I left San Francisco State College to try and end the US war in Vietnam. When I got to Chicago I found the real anti-war forces outside the convention in the streets. I joined them briefly. As it became clear to me the war would continue, I headed for Canada, where I lived for the next six years. As an editor of Amex->Canada, I helped forge and lead the movement for universal, unconditional amnesty for all war resisters.
