Through the past, darkly: The '60s at 50, blurred (AP)

This two picture combination shows above: in a Jan. 20, 1961 file photo, U.S. President John F. Kennedy delivers his inaugural address after taking the oath of office at Capitol Hill in Washington, and below, in a May 4, 1970 file photo, Mary Ann Vecchio gestures and screams as she kneels by the body of a student lying face down on the campus of Kent State University, Kent, Ohio. National Guardsmen had fired into a crowd of demonstrators, killing four. The definition of the era referred to as 'the 1960's' may be difficult to pinpoint. One person will assert the era began with Kennedy's inauguration (1961) and ended with the shootings at Kent State (1970). Another might count from Kennedy's assassination (1963) until Nixon's resignation (1974) or even until Saigon fell (1975). (AP Photos/File, John Filo, below)AP - His overalls are weathered. His white beard is grown out to aging-hippie perfection. The tattoos on his arms tell the story of a moment from the summer of 1969 that has passed into legend — three days of peace and music that became a doorway to defining an era.

(AP Photo/M.
