The movements in France were also astounding in their magnitude, with leaders who did not lead much, but getting to a complete paralysis of the country and the downfall of many in the government.
Mark Kurlansky's entertaining book amply justifies his thesis that 1968 was a watershed year, in which peoples around the world fundamentally reassessed their visions of themselves and of their governments.
Given that 1968 occurred not only well after the Soviets' similar invasion in Hungary, but after decades of imposition of a slave labor system that imprisoned millions in gulags, this is a breathtakingly absurd statement.

The Intelligence Community's analytic assessment of the prospects for a coup in 1970, for example, was that "military action is impossible" because the Army was too deeply committed to the Constitution and unwilling to oust the civilian government.
In July 1968, the 303 Committee approved a modest covert action program, proposed by the US Ambassador, to influence the composition of the Chilean Congress by supporting moderate candidates in the March 1969 Congressional elections.

This document was designed to accomplish three goals: to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in existence, and to protect the rights of nations to peacefully use nuclear technology, for energy, as an example.
In the 1968 treaty, only five nations were allowed to possess nuclear weapons: The U.S., the U.S.S.R., the United Kingdom, China, and France.

 Intelligence and Vietnam: The Top Secret 1969 State Department Study
In 1968 Tom Hughes, then director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, ordered another report, far less voluminous and ambitious but with considerable potential impact.

Moise and the George Washington University's National Security Archive forced the release of the bulk of the study in November 2003.
In late 1968, Thomas L. Hughes, the director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), commissioned this study, intended as an in-house classified review and evaluation of INR's performance on the subject of Vietnam during the eight years of the Kennedy and Johnson presidencies.

 History ~ About ABA ~ American Birding Association
Articles about birding as a serious sport were sometimes published in Audubon, like the one by Stuart Keith on the "600 Club" in 1963 that helped stimulate interest and competition among birders, but the focus of that magazine was quickly turning toward conservation issues and away from birds and birding.
As an avid birder, he conceived a journal and an organization focused entirely on birding for fun, partly for its own sake, as a way for birders all over the continent to connect with each other, and partly as a subtle but inevitable lure to get more people involved in the conservation movement.
The ABA Checklist Committee, initially chaired by Arnold Small, and the Listing Rules Committee, headed (as it still is) by Robert Pyle, submitted their first reports in the last issue of Volume 2.
