Four died in O-hi-o

Alan Canfora was shot and wounded by Ohio National Guardsmen at Kent State University in 1970. Today he is due to release a recording on which he claims the order to fire can be heard. He wants the government to reopen an investigation into the killings. He recently got the tape from an archive at Yale University where the government's copy was stored.

I can clearly remember the shock and horror the incident produced. After all these weren't black kids in a ghetto but middle class white kids. It seemed to make all the difference in those days. It probably still does.
