Book excerpt: Students entering Ohio State University in the 1960s enjoyed a period of unprecedented prosperity and expanding freedom for young people. They partied in togas and twisted the night away. They gathered at Larry's, the Bergs and the BBF. They cheered on a national championship football team and grooved to folk singers, folk rockers and acid rockers, many of whom visited campus. They donned bold and sometimes outrageous new styles in clothing and bonded together as part of a cultural revolution unmatched before or since. Join author and OSU alum William J. Shkurti for a magical mystery tour through a decade when being young and in college meant you had a ticket to ride.
