Changes

* In 1960, Arab nations formed "OPEC" to control the production and sale of oil to the world.  OPEC stands for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.  This monopoly has caused shortages and driven up the price of oil, particularly in the early 1970s when OPEC retaliated against the United States.

* In 1960, liberal students formed the "Students for a Democratic Society" (SDS) in Port Huron, Michigan, saying that they are "looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit."  It became the foundation for radical groups later in the 1960s, who became increasingly aggressive and violent in their protest activities.  In the spring of 1968, it arranged for 1 million students to skip class.  But the public hardly noticed.  However, an SDS chapter at Columbia University did succeed with a "sit in" that forced the school to temporarily shut down.

* In 1961, President Kennedy started two programs to help alleviate poverty in foreign countries.  One was the Alliance for Progress, which consisted of foreign aid to Latin America.  The other was the Peace Corps, which sent volunteers to foreign countries to teach farming and build schools.

* Student movements expanded in 1964 with the "Free Speech Movement," which began at the ultra-liberal University of California at Berkeley and began to protest a number of perceived injustices.

* In the summer of 1969, hippies convened for a three-day massive rock concert in rural upstate New York, known as Woodstock.  A half million people, far more than expected, gathered for a weekend of music and, in some cases, outrageous behavior.  It caused massive traffic jams on the New York Thruway and the rainy weather did not help.  Some viewed this as the beginning of new era.  In fact, it was the ''end'' of the hippie era.

In 1970, the Nixon Administration founded the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") ostensibly to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution.  The EPA quickly banned DDT on unproven environmental grounds (as incited by the since-discredited book the "Silent Spring," by Rachel Carson).  This ban on DDT, which continues to this day, has resulted in the avoidable deaths of millions of Africans from malaria; DDT easily eliminates malaria.
