This quote from C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" reflects on the deep despair experienced by the characters Susan and Lucy on a particular night.

Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.
