By David R. Williams

What inspired you to write Searching for God in the Sixties? What sparked your interest? I graduated from High School in 1967, took a year off to see the world in the merchant marine, ended up in the McCarthy for President campaign, and landed at Harvard the next year in time for the first student takeover.

By Brian K. Pennington

…at R.E.M. was hanging it all up, my first impulse was to call my wife and teenage sons, to commiserate and reminisce together about our shared experience of a collective, four-man; someone that felt like a part of the family. It was precisely the kind of instinctive response you have when you learn of an unexpected death or a national tragedy: connect quickly and viscerally with those you love, and start processing the sudden end of a narrative wh…
