footnote: Why the stovepipe hats in 1961? The stovepipe was in style for a very brief period during the Civil War. The country was celebrating a long series of nostalgic anniversaries of events leading up to the Civil war. There was the 150th birthday of Lincoln, the anniversary of the Emanipation Proclamation and many other anniversaries important to the Civil Rights Movement.?? 1963 is the 100 anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Kennedy Rice Stadium speech September 12, 1962 2 of 2 video
On September 12, 1962, Rice Stadium hosted the speech in which President John F. Kennedy challenged Americans to send a man to the moon by the end of the decade. In the speech, he used a reference to Rice University football to help frame his rhetoric:
- But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
On 14 October 1962, a U-2 from the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, based at Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio, Texas and piloted by Major Richard S. Heyser, photographed the Soviet military installing nuclear warhead missiles in Cuba, thereby precipitating the Cuban missile crisis.

The Warren Court that is remembered today is the 1963-69 Court, in which a solid bloc of five liberals created the revolution in constitutional criminal procedure, and which aided the civil rights movement as much as possible. Earl Warren became well known as a "liberal" Supreme Court justice, so much so that national politics revolved in part on one's position concerning the Court. That is, one's views of the Warren Court reflect in part one's views of an "activist" judiciary. Warren was a decisive, amiable and tough-minded leader of a fractious group, and he imprinted his political and legal views on nearly all of the Court's decisions in this six year period.
Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train - on Rainbow Quest with Pete Seeger (No. 3)
Later Career and Recordings
During the later half of the fifties Mike Seeger began making bedroom reel to reel recordings of her songs in Elizabeth's house. The culmination of these recordings would later go on Folksongs and Instrumentals with Guitar, which was released on Folkways Records. Since its release, her songs, especially her signature track, "Freight Train," written when she was 11, have been covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan,Matt Valentine and Taj Mahal. Shortly afterwards she began playing selected joint shows with Mike Seeger, the first of which was in 1960 at Swarthmore College. One of her songs, "Ain't Got No Honey Baby Now," was in fact recorded by Blind Boy Fuller under the title "Lost Lover Blues" in 1940. A tribute to Cotten, "In Memory of Elizabeth Cotton"[sic] was recorded by fIREHOSE on the album If'n shortly after her death. The song mimics her playing style and its lyrics echo the content of "Freight Train".
Over the course of the early sixties Elizabeth went on to play more shows with big names in the burgeoning sixties folk revival. Some of these included Mississippi John Hurt, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters at venues such as the Newport Folk Festival and the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife.
The newfound interest in her work inspired her to write more material to play and in 1967 she released a record created with her grandchildren entitled Shake Sugaree.
Using profits from her touring and record releases, as well as from the many awards given to her for contribution to the folk arts, Elizabeth moved with her daughter and grandchildren from Washington and bought a house in Syracuse, New York. She continued touring and releasing records well into her 80's. In 1984 she won the Grammy Award for "Best Ethnic or Traditional Recording" for her album on Arhoolie Records "Elizabeth Cotten Live." In 1989, Cotten was one of 75 influential African-American women chosen to be included in the photo documentary, "I Dream a World." When accepting the award on the Grammy stage in Los Angeles, her comment was "Thank you. I only wish I had my guitar so I could play a song for you all".
Elizabeth Cotten died in Syracuse, New York at the age of 92.

Charles Whitman Texas tower shootings - August 1, 1966 Huntley Report
During the pre-dawn hours of August 1, 1966, Whitman killed his mother in her apartment and his wife at their residence. Later in the morning he bought a variety of ammunition and a shotgun; about 11:30 A.M. he went to the university tower, taking with him a footlocker, six guns, knives, food, and water. After clubbing the receptionist (who later died) on the twenty-eighth floor about 11:45 A.M., he killed two persons and wounded two others who were coming up the stairs from the twenty-seventh floor. On the observation deck of the tower, at an elevation of 231 feet, Whitman then opened fire on persons crossing the campus and on nearby streets, killing ten more people and wounding thirty-one more (one of whom died a week later). Police arrived and returned his fire, while other policemen worked their way into the tower. Several of the dead and wounded were moved to cover by students and other citizens while the firing continued. At 1:24 P.M. police and a deputized private citizen reached the observation deck, where police officers Ramiro Martinez and Houston McCoy shot and killed Whitman. Altogether, seventeen persons were killed, including Whitman, and thirty-one were wounded in one of the worst mass murders in modern United States history. An autopsy on Whitman's body revealed a brain tumor, but medical authorities disagreed over its effect on Whitman's actions. His body was returned to Lake Worth, Florida, for burial.
In June 1967 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued its first report to Congress recommending that the warning label be changed to "Warning: Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Health and May Cause Death from Cancer and Other Diseases."

Nixon appointed Warren Burger in 1969 to succeed Earl Warren, who was perceived as a liberal interventionist, especially in areas like school desegregation and civil rights, as Chief Justice. Nixon wanted the Court to follow a more conservative, go-slow attitude, especially in civil rights. This was the era of school busing and integration, real political hot buttons. Burger was a conservative Minnesota judge. The newly elected President, Republican Richard Nixon, fulfilled a promise to appoint Supreme Court Justices who were "strict constructionists" of the Constitution by nominating Burger.
