Street of Dreams

"This is an unusually thoughtful, insightful, indeed brilliant, interpretation of the stormy 60s and their aftermath. There is growing interest in topics related to the 60s and Knight's book represents one of the very best treatments of the subject I have read to date."Having gone through this turbulent period as a graduate student and young assistant professor--and having worked on the President's Commission on Campus Unrest (the Scranton Commission) in 1970--I felt very moved by Knight's experiences and honesty. His judgments and evaluations are shared by a good many people--scholars, administrators, politicians, and students alike, who searched for similar answers to the many questions raised in the 1960s. This book represents a monument in civility and sound judgment--values not necessarily appreciated at that hurried time. History as already and will continue to prove Knight correct; it is a book I will not tire of reading."--Richard G. Braungart, Syracuse University
