Why the increase? Was it because Americans were lulled by the “improvement” of the preceding year?
There are, perhaps, as many reasons as there are people to voice opinions.
Whatever the reasons, the tragedy remains. More than 55,300 persons were killed and 4,400,000 injured.
Mr. Driver, it’s up to you to help make 1969 beautiful!
