this is "through the decades"... a unique hour-long-- time capsule. today we look back at the moments that made '60s swing including, the television appearance that launched a full-on invasion. "where an epidemic called beatlemania has seized the teenage population, especially female." the fight that announced to t of heavyweight champion. "i don't get hit! i don't get hit! i'm so pretty!" and how peace, love and music came to define a decade "what we're thinking about is a peaceful planet." those stories and more in the next hour, part of a different kind of television experience, where we relive, remember and relate to the events that are cemented in history. i'm ellee pai hong.

and i'm kerry sayers. and i'm your host, bill kurtis. this is "through the decades." a decade is only 10 years. in the grand scheme it's a blink of an eye. yet, some decades packed plenty of monumental moments into 10 short years, but perhaps no decades packed more than the it saw the bay of pigs, the cuban missile crisis, rise and fall of camelot, and the moon landing. we saw the berkeley movement, the march on washington, and the construction of the berlin wall.but in the next hour, we're looking at the pop culture moments that have stayed with us long after the '60s stopped swining. we begin with the tv appearance that showcased

beatles made their american debut on the ed sullivan show. "yeah, yeah, yeah. those are the beatles those are and this is beatleland formally known as britain where an epidemic called beatlemania has seized the teenage population, especially female." in 1963, that epidemic was quickly circling the globe. the beatles' debut studio album "please please me", had turned four, mop-haired boys from liverpool into a popular senon but while they ruled the airwaves in the u.k., in the u.s. their releases weren't quite as pervasive. capitol records, an american subsidary of e.m.i., the beatles' label at the time, declined to issue the beatles' music during their initial success. e.m.i. then negotiated with an independent label which brought a few singles to the states in '63. it was enough to pique the country's interest, but by the end of the year,

they wanted to experience the phenomenon. the beatles' manager, brian epstein, was well aware of the american desire he was just waiting for the right time and the right way to strike. in the early 1960's, there was no better way into the homes of americans than the ed sullivan show, a television mainstay since the late 1940's. it aired on cbs every sunday night from 8 to 9 p.m., it aired on cbs every sunday night from 8 to 9 p.m., weekly ritual for families across the country. the show had a reputation as a "star-maker" famously sparking the careers of elvis presley and buddy holly among others. "any spot on the ed sullivan show was a good spot, you know. so, if you got on the show it was a very magic moment for your career." so, for epstein, it was a fitting stage for the beatles to make their american debut, and near the end of 1963 he

sullivan, 10 thousand dollars for three appearances and top billing. on february 7, 1964, the beatles arrived at new york's john f. kennedy airport. hysterical fans met them as they walked off the plane as well as rows of reporters hoping to get the group's first impressions of the united states. "do you like america?" "yes ... we wouldn't be here if "we were told as we got here last night by the police don't look out of the windows and don't wave, and if we do that then we get the police chief coming up and saying, 'well, we're finished boys' and he goes away and they won't look after us, you know, so we can't do anything." fans camped outside their hotel hoping to catch even a fleeting glimpse of john, paul, george, and ringo. meanwhile, cbs fielded some 50 thousand requests for tickets to the ed sullivan show which was broadcast from tv

but while only a lucky few would get inside, millions from coast to coast were ready to tune in from their living rooms, clicking on their tv's at 8 p.m. sharp on february 9, 1964. "ladies and gentlemen, the beatles." the beatles performed five of their hits throughout the hour long show. it was a peor over 73 million people breaking every ratings record that had ever existed. "when the beatles came out on that stage and they set them up in tt conventional four man sort of, you know, way, i just thought that could be me one of these days and i'm going to try to make it me." the british invasion had officially commenced. for american pop culture, it was the introduction of the '60s signature sound

milestone that would eclipse all others. the beatles returned to the show the following two sundays, firmly establishing beatlemania in america, a craze that grew into a following few entertainers had or ever would have, one that hasn't quieted since that february night in 1964. their mop-tops are an indelible image of the '60s, so is the vision of andy warhol. from his print of marilyn monroe, to a can of soup, he would redefine how we look at art. a man inspired by the mundane, andy warhol. he had a gift painting a new

and he used one of today's most nostalgic cans, campbell's soup, to make his break into the world of art on july 9, 1962. "andy warhol was an extraordinary painter. but a point in fact what made him great was in fact what as he said himself, the mirror of his times." warhol got his start as a commercial illustrator in new york city, printing ads in magazines. but he wanted his work galleries, a place where commercial art was undesired. but the time was on his side. in the mid-1950's, pop art emerged in britain and moved to the states in the late '50s. "warhol was ahead of his time." to make his mark in the world of art and pop art specifically, warhol capitalized on a part of adapting american culture, mass produced commercialism.

painted the 32 flavors on individual canvases. and displayed them as weknow them, in rows shelved in a grocery aisle. only beginning warhol's iconic production of art we know today. "i think if anything could be seen as the symbols or the consummate understanding of the american dream, it's andy warhol and his art." campbell's soup was warhol's he switched to photo-silkscreen printing, a commercially used technique that's much faster and opened his first studio in new york later that year. warhol named it "the factory" and it ran all too true to form. images were replicated on an assembly line much like the mass-produced items he printed. only deepening a sense of irony into his art work that nearly lacks individuality.

when our journey through the 1960's continues... we look back on when one man changed what an oscar winner looks like. we'll also remember the star crossed romance that was liz and dick, and head back to a time when the mini-skirt changed fashion forever, even the fight that would catapult a young ambitious fighter onto the world stage. and later, if there's one e '60s, it's woodstock. it's all still to come on

we move now to april of 1964 as history was made at the 36th annual academy awards when sidney poitier became the first african american actor to take home an oscar for best actor. home an oscar for best actor. twenty four years had passed since hattie mcdaniel won her academy award for best supporting actress in "gone with the wind", but since that time, no african american had won an oscar, and certainly not top honors, until sidney poitier's heaven-sent role as a traveling construction worker for "lilies of the field." "god is good, he has sent me a big strong man."

was just passing by." poitier, who had been more than just a passerby in hollywood had been making movies for more than a decade. a few years earlier, he was nominated for best actor for "the defiant ones" but didn't win. finally, april 13, 1964, potier and the african american community, got their due. "hollywood's big night! for the thirty sixth time, the world's amusement capital recognizes the year's top artists achievements with the bestowal of the coveted oscars." "in a dramtatic moment, anne bancroft names the best actor of the year." "the winner is sidney poitier in ..." "the winner is choked with emotion." "because it is a long journey to this moment, i am naturally indebted to countless numbers

people. to all of them, i can say a very special thank you." more than two decades later, lilies director and producer, ralph nelson got emotional. "at that time, the oscars were held at the santa monica civic auditorium, and when his name was announced the house came down, and sidney went up to the microphone and said it has been a long road to this place." years later, while being honored by the american film institute, poitier reflected on his historic oscar win.

on it and we tend to use it in ways it ought not to be used. i believe that winning the academy award for the first time, for any actor, the feeling is the same. that i was a black actor, maybe i went there with less expectations than many other actors might have gone but the response is the same, there response." he was modest about the success he acheived. "well, i felt proud, clearly that i was the one to have brought that moment to be shared by the black community for the first time. naturally, that's a great feeling. that was one of many feelings, of course that i had that night. i sat waiting for the envelope to be

positioned my mind and my body to do the cosmetic response, which was, as soon as they had called albert finney's name, i was prepared to smile and applaud him. they and i started to... and i jumped up and i said, 'hey!' so, it was really some evening, some evening. i can tell ya." as our look back at the 1960's continues, we'll turn to the glamour,

hollywood's most storied couples tied the knot. plus, we'll look at the small screen as the caped crusader and the king of late night

in the 1960's and even into the seventies, the single phrase "liz and dick" conjured up more glour, passion, and scandal than a whole chorus of "kimye's" and "brangelinas". than a whole chorus of "kimye's" and "brangelinas". we look back at the romance of elizabeth taylor and richard burton, who married, for the first time, on march 15, 1964. elizabeth taylor as cleopatra, siren of the nile! richard burton as mark antony, brash, impetuous leader of once-invincible legions! antony and cleopatra are the most famous lovers in history,bs

elizabeth taylor was already hollywood royalty, regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world, while burton was the brash and brilliant prodigy of british theater. when they arrived in rome to film joseph l. manciewicz's epic film, each was married to someone else. taylor's husband of five years was singer eddie fisher. .. while burton's wife of eleven years was actress cybill williams. butl all bets were off. their affair began during filming, and caused a sensation. the paparazzi followed them everywhere. the storm of interest didn't remotely diminish when they finally tied the knot the following year. "i remember many years ago saying to elizabeth because it took us some time to get married, because of divorces and so on, i said, 'well now, once we're married we'll be just

nobody will bother us anymore.' well in fact it actually got worse." it got worse because they were anything but "just a nice middle-aged couple." their tempestuous marriage was filled with fights and reconciliations, diamonds and yachts. the public's appetite for gossip about them was insatiable, and the press was a constant presence in their lives. their only escape was in work and over the decade of their marriage they co-starred in their greatest success together was "who's afraid of virginia woolf," where they risked playing roles dramatically different from their glamorous public images. "you keep away from me! no, sir, this isn't a novel at all. this is the truth. this really happened, to me!" "i'll kill you!" "it happened!" taylor won her second oscar for the film. burton was also

competition with each other, the demands of fame, the lack of privacy, and especially burton's rampant drinking all combined, over time to drive the couple apart. in 1974 ironically just after co- starring in a movie called "divorce his, divorce hers", they divorced in real life only to remarry a little over a year later. but their second marriage faltered almost immediately, marriage faltered almost immediately, and rumors of a new split. "elizabeth taylor burton was her husband's greatest press agent. for three nights crowds had lined the sidewalks outde the broadway theater where burton was previewing his starring role in 'equus.' they were waiting for liz. and this was the scene last friday when she finally arrived." "but even before his "equus" role officially begins, burton seems to have lost one main crowd draw. on monday night, he succintly confirmed a split."

"can we ask you a few questions?" "just one second sir." "just a few questions... is it true you're separated from liz taylor?" "yes." "will you be getting a divorce?" they did get a divorce, and this time, each almost immediately married someone else, taylor choosing upcoming senator john warner. but the public wasn't willing to separate liz and dick in their hearts. "elizabeth is fifty, famously, fifty years old, and i'm 56. and we still don't understand why people are intrigued, or whatever it is, by the combination of elizabeth and myself." in 1983 they gave the audience what it wanted co-starring on broadway in noel coward's "private lives", a comedy about a dazzling middle-aged divorced couple. it was the first time they'd shared a stage and the last time they would ever work together. burton died a year later at 5elizabeth taylor survl 2011. before she died at age

she left instructions that she be buried with the last love letter richard burton ever wrote her. when our journey continues, the rise of a women's fashion trend that showed more leg than ever... the mini skirt. and we'll take you back to when the man who became known to the world as muhammad ali delivered a stunning upset. plus, how a farm in upstate to something that was so much more than a music festival. it's all today on "through the

i've been a customer for a year, and it seems my bill has doubled. yeah, you signed a two-year contract. that first year was just a promotional price. who's on the line? another call about a bill. she's not happy with our price increase. oh -- please hold. hello? hello? i can hear you!

"the hippies are capable of extremely hard work even though they tend to approach work as the rest of us do sport. some of them are very sucessful. this is the house of a popular local band which plays hard rock music. they call themselves the grateful dead. they live together comfortably in what could be called affluence. there many other similar houses

in places where employers do not mind bizarre dress or long hair. the grateful dead, themselves, acknowledge they have used lsd. warren wallace asked them what they thought the hippie movement was trying to accomplish.""what we're thinkina peaceful planet. we're not thinking about anything else. we're not thinking about any kind of power. we're not thinking about any of those kind of struggles. we're not thinking of revolution or war or any of that. that's not what we want. nobody wants to get hurt. nobodyts would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. a simple life. a good life. you know and like think about moving the whole human race ahead a step or a few steps." "or a half a step or anything." "yeah, or a half a step. or anything." "so at least its not going around in circles like it is now." "do you think that your movement or your idea, the hippie idea, is essentially connected up with drugs?" "yeah, i would say that that's a large part of the framework." "i think most of the people who

"yeah, but its not a dope movement. we're not trying to spread dope." "i think, personally, that the more people turn on the better world it's going to be." "we were talking before about a way of being and one of the ways of achieving that being is through... through drugs. "expanding your consciousness. changing yourself." "yeah but most of us have given up the psychadelic drugs anyway... yeah right, well we've learned something fromm and no with that knowledge." "what did you learn?" "well, it's... you can point out the example that the people that live in the community and you know play around with dope and stuff like that, they don't have wars you know and they don't have a lot of the problems that the larger society has." "in essence, the scene has grown up with us and we have grown up with the scene. we've all grown up together and uh...

"right, cause we know what we're trying to do. we're tryin" (laughter) on february 25, 1964, a young, ambitious fighter stepped into the ring to square off against the burly and intimidating sonny liston. the odds were stacked in liston's favor but when the night was over, all expectations wersh disbelief was a boxer the world would come to know as muhammad ali. "you tell joe louis and sonny liston that i'm here with sugar ray! joe louis was flat-footed and sonny liston is flat- footed! sugar ray and i are two pretty dancers; we can't be beat!" 22 year old cassius clay was

his loud mouth. after going undefeated in his first nineteen professional fights, clay earned the chance to challenge heavyweight champion sonny liston. liston was formiddable with a left hook simply described as lethal. twice, he'taken down former champ floyd patterson in one round, and his next opponent, the young, eager and loquacious cassius clay, wasn't expe to be much of a match. cassius clay, wasn't expe to be much of a match. but there was at least one person who was certain liston would suffer defeat. "you tell this to your camera, your tv man, your radio man, and you right there and the world, if sonny liston whups me, i'll kiss his feet in the ring, crawl out of the ring on my knees, tell him he's the greatest and catch the next jet out of the country. that's what i think about sonny liston!" in the weeks leading up to the fight clay continually taunted

calling him a "big, ugly bear" too slow to keep up with clay's nimbleness, a style he famously likened to a combination between a bee and a butterfly. "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee ahhhhh, rumble young man, rumble! ahhhh!" but clay's cocky attitude did little to persuade the 58 sportswriters polled before the fight. only three predicted clay's victory. resented. "man, i ain't scared. i'll come to your house at two o'clock in the morning looking for you. i ain't scared of nobody. it's gonna take a good man to whup me! you can look at me, i'm loaded with confidence. i can't be beat, i had 180 amatuer fights, 22 professional fights, and i'm pretty as a girl! [crowd laughs] i don't get hit! don't get hit! i'm so pretty!" on february 25, 1964, all the

a crowd of 8,300 gathered inside miami's convention hall arena.when the first bell rung, liston came out swinging with that left jab but clay gave him a taste of his quickness shifting to his left and all liston hit was air. the tone had been set. the two sparred for several more rounds keeping a relatively steady back and forth something few had anticipated. then, as the bell rung for the something few had anticipated. then, as the bell rung for the start of seventh round he was finished. and clay, as he put it, had just "shook up the world." "all of you reporters made it hard on us. never write about me like that. never make me six to one. you'll just make me angry. never make me no underdog and never talk about who's going to stop me cause ain't nobody gonna stop me,..."

cassius clay who later that year changed his name to "muhammad ali" had arrived. it was a fitting introduction for a man who'd go onto become one of the most dominant sporting figures of the twentieth century with a persona outside the ring that was as big as it was inside the ring. one that forever dissolved his designation as an underdog and gave rise to a new moniker, the greatest. and gave rise to a new moniker, the greatest. now we turn back the lens of time on a classic commercial from the 1960's "some shampoos are thin but liquid prell is luxurious. try it. liquid prell's rich lather lets you become anything you want. a balinese dancer,

is lovely, alive and shiney. take me to your pharaoh ah ha ha. liquid prell. extra rich shampoo." when our look at the 1960's continues, we turn to t world of television. from the comic book that came to life that would set a new standard for camp to when we all first heard ed mcmahon say "here's johnny."

our look at the '60s turns now to television, and from the music, to the car, the language and the tights, they all made up one of television's earliest super-hero successes, batman, which premiered on january 12, 1966. with its cartoon open ripped straight from the pages of a comic book, "batman" splashed onto the television screens to begin a simple, yet timeless tale of good versus evil. "and i had a feeling from the beginning after reading the pilot script that it was going to be something very ambitious and fun stuff." the show starred adam west as batman and burt ward as his loyal sidekick, robin.

together they fought to protect gotham city from a colorful team of villains from "the joker" "what on earth will the caped crusader say?" to the riddler. "adios amigos! see you in court!" "there was such a hype on the show. i knew it was going to be tremendous, and that overnight nielsen rating was phenomenal, and i was on the first episode you know which was great."that n january 12, 1966. you know which was great."that n january 12, 1966. before then, batman had enjoyed success as a comic book character as well as a few preceding television serials but was still being overshadowed by another caped hero. "yes, it's superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men." superman was the gold standard, but in 1966, batman stepped out from under his long draped

it and hoped that it would pay off and you know subsequently after some episodes were shown it was starting to... the success of it, you know, that whole series was becoming apparent, you know." the show's trademark was its overly campy style deliberately tongue-in-cheek. everything from the costumes, the fights and the gee-whiz, holy smokes dialogue. "holy complications!" holy smokes dialogue. "holy complications!" phenomenon enjoying quick popularity using a cliff-hanger formula to keep audiences coming back the next night. "is this the ghastly end of our dynamic duo? answers, tomorrow night, same time, same channel." adam west's batman was the anchor playing the straight man. but it's the supporting characters like the penguin and catwoman that gave the show its memorable charm.

"she was wicked but she wasn't evil. she was bad but she was so good, and everything she said and did was totally felt and expressed in the body." "we know what you're up to." "is that so? tell me more." "i love that role. i just love that role." "we were light-hearted and everything was kind of bright and there was no real violence or bloodshed." "let's gi knuckles shall we?" the series ran for three seasons but during that short span it produced 120 episodes. not to mention piles of merchandise, collectibles of all kinds... board games and action figures, lamps, trading cards, and models of batman's unforgettable, fully tricked out car - the batmobile. "it's timeless, you still look at it, it's... i get more fan mail now than i've ever had."

"i think those of us who watch batman, who have read the comic magazines, the graphic novels, whatever, would love to be batman for one night." these days, the show enjoys a batman for one night." these days, the show enjoys a gluttony of pop references hung onto as something entirely reflective of television in the 1960's. "batman's there. it's always there, and it's a wonderful part of my kind of career, history, and i have a great affection for it." on october 1, 1962, the game of night time t.v. changed forever when johnny carson inherited the throne of the

the late night landscape for three decades. "here's johnny!" though ed mcmahon as not the one to introduce johnny on his first official night as "the tonight show" host, those two words are inseparable from the king of late night t.v. "i like doing the show. it's just that simple." carson would rule the post primetime roost for the next generation making him the longest running host in tonight "basically, what i am is an entertainer, and whether this show as any great sociological or philosopy behind it, i think my only philosophy is to go out and make people laugh, to amuse and entertain them." carson's predecessor, jack paar only had good things to say about his replacement. "carson. no one can... nothing but praise carson. i know more than anyone what it's like to do the show and he's done it for 25 years. no one will ever do it as well again. no one perhaps

in a 1985 interview, carson revealed what he thought made the viewers turn on the tonight show before turning off the lights. "i think if you like what you're doing, and i enjoy doing the tonight show, you can keep a fresh outlook on it, you know. even though occasionally we have a lot of repeat guests, the trick is to come out every night and try to get something out of nothing." carnac the magnificent was always good for a laugh. "sis-boom-bah." always good for a laugh. "sis-boom-bah." "sis-boom-bah." "describe the sound a sheep makes when it explodes." before taking over for carson when he retired in 1992, jay leno talked about the tonight show legacy. "as a kid, you know, steve allen and jack paar and johnny carson and gee, i mean, it is sorta overwhwelming this kind of thing. gee, now you have your picture up on the wall, on the tonight show wall which is kind of fun." but before he left, carson admitted he had no idea about

ago, they were burying a time capsule back somewhere in new york city, and they wanted a tonight show or an excerpt from the tonight show with a letter signed by me to future generations and it was difficult to sit down and think what you would say. so, i think my note was 'dear sir or madam or alien, i said, the enclosed tape is a tape of the tonight show from, i think it was, january, 1985, and i said 'if like this on the air as you read this letter, you haven't progressed very far so go back and try again.' i don't know how people will look at something like this 100 years from now." stil to come on 'through the decades'... how three days of peace, love and music became an unshakable symbol of the decade. 'once i got here and felt the vibrations these people were giving off - this music, and lay around and hear this music

night, right into the morning" it's all still to come on

now today's ou "take 15 girls, all wearing mini skirts, and invite them to break a world record held by a college group in america. the big squeeze is to see if you can compress all these mini- skirted misses into one tiny mini." it was 1966, the height of what was known as 'swinging london,' and minis. both of them were all the rage. the mini skirt, one of the defining fashions of the 60's, was the creation of british designer mary quant, who was

easy, youthful, simple clothes. she credited customers at her iconic boutique for the mini, saying she herself wore very short skirts, and they requested even shorter ones for themselves. quant said of mini wearers, "their femininity lies in their attitude. she enjoys being noticed, but wittily. she is lively, positive, opinionated." it was a breath of fresh air in the wake of the post world war ii austerity that had through much of the 1950s. quant's high public profile and her induction as a member of the order of the british empire by the queen at buckingham palacesd beyond a simple street fashion into a major international trend. minis were also championed by top british models like twiggy and jean shrimpton, who created a stir when she wore a short white shift dress to australia's highly

across the pond, peggy moffitt was the face and figure ofamerii gernreich, who was among the first to offer mini skirts and dresses in the us. the rise in hemlines gave rise to another trend of the times. colored tights and tights withs patterns replaced stockings and suspenders. but by the 1970s, the fashion industry had returned to longer skirts. the midi and the maxi and trousers both tightand flared would steal the show. tightand flared would steal the show. perhaps it was no coincidence that hemlines were lengthed as the feminist movement was on the rise. they came from all over and met on a nondescript farm in upstate new york. it was to become the defining moment of the 1960's - woodstock.

looking for ways to finance a recording studio in woodstock, new york, thisis what became of their ambitions. arguably the greatest music event this country has ever seen and most certainly the epitome of the 1960's counter-culture movement. "they began to arrive earlier in the week from as far away as california and new mexico attracted by a widely promoted music and arts festival that promised three days of peace and music." woodstock was supposed to take place in woodstock, but after pushback from local residents, the festival's promoters ventured some forty miles south to the town of bethel where they found a six hundred- acre dairy farm owned and operated by max yasgur. "at least 300,000 young people perhaps as many as half a

highways and country roads tryingo get to a music festival featuring the most popular performers of rock and folk music." days before the start of the festival, the tiny town of bethel was overrun. word had spread like wildfire. people came from far and wide for the promised three days of peace and music and facing crowds that were certain to grow. organizers were forced abandon any hopes of making a profit woodstook was declared a free concert. "much of an entire county in the summer resort area of new york state's catskills mountains is virtually paralyzed this weekend by an overwhelming crowd of pop rock music fans from all over the country." "the local and state police were quickly overwhelmed by traffic, partly because a plan to hire 350 off duty policemen

by their commissioner at the last minute. reinforcements were called from all over the state. they came too late." at 5:07 p.m. on august 15, 1969, richie havens took the stage, and so began woodstock. "what does this rock festival mean to you?" "a way to get out, you know. a time to get out." "it's been overwhelming. the townspeople, the local store- keepers are all in favor of it. it brings money into the community and they feel they need it." havens would be the first of 32 performers providing a non-stop soundtrack for the hundreds of thousands spread across max yasgur's farm. "i'd like to say that i think the whole scene is out of sight. i mean, really this is real a groovy scene." and while a wide array of

but whatever's going to be in the future, more are coming in, but what have... coming in this town, talking to them. we had a very pleasant conversation with a few of them this morning. they're very nice." "so what do the people out there think about what's going on in here?" "well, a lot of people think it's crazy, do' despite the chaotic conditions, muddy fields, large crowds, and less than ideal sanitation, woodstock largely lived up to its initial promise as a venue for peace and music. "until i got here i thought i was crazy coming here, and once i got here and felt the vibrations that these people are giving off and that the music and just to lay around and hear this music all day long, right into the night and right into the morning."

anything you want and nobody's going to say anything or think anything about you. you're just accepted for what you are totally." as crowds began to vacate yasgur's farm on august 17, 1969, it was already clear they were leaving behind something iconi"e a community. it was a big, dramatic, graphic reminder that we're all in this together and look at how many of us there are." "flying over the audience i knew immediately that we had accomplished something that was not going to be erased very easily." "young people want to know what that time was about, and i think that they sense that the times

the fields and hills that for three days in august of 1969 reverberated with the many voices of a generation. they have long since gone quiet returning to their rural tranquility, but they stand as hallowed grounds for a time and an era of great

that'll do it for us today. i'm bill kurtis. as we leave, one last look back at the

we asked a group of young people

start saving for retirement. then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow.
