&lt;div&gt;BANGKOK (AP) - EDITOR'S NOTE: Associated Press Photographer Neal Ulevich won the Pulitzer Prize for his photos of the suppression of a left-wing student protest at Bangkok's Thammasat University on Oct. 6, 1976, and the brutal lynchings in its wake. Ulevich, then 30, arrived as a night of tension at the campus broke into a full-scale assault by paramilitary police on thousands of trapped and defenseless students.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Even with experience covering the Vietnam War- he was on one of the last helicopters out when the [http://www.Reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=American%20presence American presence] ended with the communist takeover in April 1975 - Ulevich was stunned by the scale of the violence.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;After winning the Pulitzer, he said his happiness &amp;quot;must be tempered with grim memories of the day. If there is any value in the pictures it is that they may have made some people pause and think about the wider issues such as hatred and violence.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;FILE - In this Oct. 6, 1976 file photo blood streaming down his face, a leftist student, center, wounded and captured by police is helped to an ambulance at the Thammasat University campus in Bangkok, Thailand.

On that day, heavily armed security forces shot up Bangkok's Thammasat University campus and killed scores of students, while right-wing vigilantes captured would-be escapees, subjecting them to ghoulish lynchings. (AP Photo/Neal Ulevich,File)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Ulevich wrote this first-person account, which the AP published soon after the massacre.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;___&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In a real riot no one knows you're there. So as gunfire crackled over the campus of Bangkok's Thammasat University Wednesday morning, I pushed my way through an angry sea of rightists and found a hole in the high metal fence surrounding the campus.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I paused momentarily while Boy Scouts pushed through the fence the body of a soldier with a chest wound. I jumped through.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The police were on the attack and the rightists were cheering their support. Troops armed with M-16 rifles were spraying wild fire across a quadrangle, shattering classroom windows and nicking holes in the walls.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;With some Indochina combat coverage behind me, I could hear that more than 90 percent of the fire was going in one direction - toward the students. Occasionally it seemed a round came back.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;On the quadrangle, troopers worked their way toward classrooms.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Some of the troopers tossed hand grenades through the windows. The &amp;quot;garrumph&amp;quot; of a grenade going off was followed by a puff of smoke and the tinkle of showering glass. Then the recoilless rifle crew moved up.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It wasn't immediately clear why the border patrol police were there, or why they thought they needed an armor-piercing antitank weapon to conquer students. The two-man crew moved forward, followed by a shaggy right-winger carrying a box of ammunition. They blasted more classrooms.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;A few minutes later, about 9:30 a.m., the battle seemed over.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Students began to pour out of campus buildings, some wounded. I began to move forward, 50 yards behind the soldiers. I began to feel apprehensive, just as I did in Vietnam when crossing open ground. And with good reason. The shooting began again.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The students threw themselves to the ground - I did, too - as the Thai police emptied more thousands of rounds into the classrooms. The fire slackened and the students got up.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I reached the nearest classroom building.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;At the door, students were running out, diving to their hands and knees and crawling past soldiers who told them to take off their shirts, and coeds their blouses. Slow performance earned a kick.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;A grenade went off in a classroom above us, showering troops and their captives with glass and plaster. The students crawled toward the center of the quadrangle to lie in the hot sun.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I was joined by a German reporter who speaks Thai, and we walked out through the gate.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Then we  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html vtr.org.vn] were out on the street - close by the pleasant green trees that surround the Pramaine Ground site of Bangkok's colorful weekend fair. But then we saw the angry swarm of Thais around two of those trees and their anger was white hot. I saw the body of a dead student hanging from one tree. The scene was being repeated just a few feet away.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I don't know how much earlier the students had been lynched - probably just a few minutes - but enraged rightists felt robbed by death and continued to batter the bodies.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Other Thais  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html du lịch Bắc Kinh] who witnessed the 1973 student riots here said the earlier uprising, which left 70 dead, never evoked the brutality or hatred of Wednesday's attack on the students.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;No one had seen me.

But I had seen enough, and left.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;FILE - In this Oct. 6, 1976 file photo a member of a Thai political faction strikes at the lifeless body of a hanged student outside Thammasat University in Bangkok Oct. 6, 1976.

&lt;div&gt;By Maurice Isserman&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;July 12 (Reuters) - According to the Chinese Zodiac, 1968 and 2016 are both the Year of the Monkey. But maybe we should call this the Year of the Ghost Monkey of 1968. From the presidential primaries to the convention platform battles to bloody mayhem in the streets, 1968 is the go-to, default metaphor for what we seem to be reliving.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;This year, like 1968, is certainly one of bitter conflict and wrenching change. And why is that a surprise? Some things don't change. A nation of several hundred million people, drawn from all over the world, can never exactly become a peaceable kingdom, a beloved community. Creeds differ, values clash; rival factions, communities and priorities compete.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Harmony would be nice - and an end to bloodshed is a goal to which most Americans can subscribe. But bear in mind that it has always been through conflict that Americans have decided who they are as a nation, discarding old assumptions and redefining identity and mission.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I've been thinking about one of my favorite 1960s writers, the remarkable Vietnam War correspondent Michael Herr, who died two weeks ago. He covered the Vietnam War for &amp;quot;Esquire&amp;quot; in 1967-68, and his book, &amp;quot;Dispatches,&amp;quot; remains one of the greatest works about that troubled conflict. (Herr also contributed to the screenplays of two iconic Hollywood movies about the war, &amp;quot;Apocalypse Now&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Full Metal Jacket.&amp;quot;)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Dispatches&amp;quot; is more than a war memoir, however. It offers genuine insight into American history and the American character. &amp;quot;There was such a dense concentration of American energy there,&amp;quot; Herr wrote of Vietnam in the late 1960s. &amp;quot;American and essentially adolescent, if that energy could have been channeled into anything more than waste and pain it would have lighted up Indochina for a thousand years.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I can't think of any other American writer who has managed to pack into one sentence so much love for his country - and so much disdain for the folly in which, in that instance, it was engaged.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Another passage in &amp;quot;Dispatches&amp;quot; also came to mind last week. Herr describes the first time he went on a mission with a company of Marines, and ended up caught in a fire-fight, hugging the ground for hours, &amp;quot;listening to it going on, the moaning and whining and the dull repetitions of whump whump whump and dit dit dit, listening to a boy who'd somehow broken his thumb sobbing and gagging, and thinking 'Oh my God, this f-ing thing is on a loop!...'&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Here's last week's loop: Tuesday, &amp;quot;whump whump whump,&amp;quot; black man in Louisiana pinned to the ground by police officers then shot to death.

Is it apocalypse now in the streets of America?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;And all this in the context of recent years of  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html vtr.org.vn] fervent protest over issues  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html tour bắc kinh từ hà nội] of racial injustice, in a nation beset by repeated acts of violence, both random and targeted, in the midst of a presidential campaign running off the tracks, with one candidate in particular displaying an ability to stir up as much rancor and discord as possible.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If history is on a loop, are we back in the world of &amp;quot;Dispatches&amp;quot;? Is this 1968 redux? Do we really have to sit through this movie again?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Not likely. Fifty years have indeed changed America. The country is more diverse, ethnically, racially and religiously. There is a far more substantial black middle class than in 1968. (While at the same time the problem of black poverty, and for that matter white poverty, seems more intractable than ever.) Although it's sometimes hard to remember with all the noise generated by polarizing politicians, the United States is more tolerant than it was a half century ago - when the idea that there would someday be a black president seemed impossibly remote, and the notion of gay marriage unimaginable.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In 1968, the nation was still adjusting to the U.S. Supreme Court's wonderfully named decision &amp;quot;Loving v. Virginia,&amp;quot; issued the previous June, which overturned laws that banned interracial marriage. Until then, nearly one-third of American states had such laws on their books. Today at least 12 percent of all new marriages in the United States unite interracial couples, and the trend is expected to expand as millennials, least concerned of all Americans about race, reach marriage age.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Reminded by the Iraq invasion of the consequences of national hubris in international affairs, a lesson learned and then forgotten after Vietnam, Americans are again skeptical of &amp;quot;boots on the ground&amp;quot; scenarios for remaking the world in their own image. The fact that this skepticism, even in the absence of a draft, is shared across the generational spectrum - and is, to some extent, bipartisan - is another important difference between 1968 and today.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Americans are also asking important questions about economic policies and decisions taken in Washington and corporate board rooms, that have increased income inequality to levels not seen since the 1920s. Americans as a people, many of them anyway, are more self-aware and thoughtful in this second decade of the 21st century than has been the case for some decades.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It's true that the presumptive presidential candidate of the party of Abraham Lincoln wants to make America &amp;quot;great again&amp;quot; by turning back the clock to the imagined splendor of an era of racial and ethnic homogeneity. But come November, after all the shouting and posturing, there will come a great moment of clarity, when the diverse population of America votes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Speaking of clarifying moments in American history, in his first speech as president in March 1861, the first Republican president of the United States beseeched his fellow countrymen to listen to the &amp;quot;better angels of their nature&amp;quot; and avoid the looming Civil War. That did not, Lincoln assured Southerners, mean the end of slavery, at least in the short run.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;His appeal fell on deaf ears. But just two and a half years later, in a November 1863 address at Gettysburg, Lincoln proclaimed a &amp;quot;new birth of freedom,&amp;quot; carrying on and transforming the meaning of the American experiment, in which there no longer was a place for human servitude. And, in doing so, changed the nation.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;History was not on a loop in the 1860s.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Nor in the 1960s. In a Memphis church on April 3, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. reflected on the [http://www.wordreference.com/definition/possibility possibility] of his own death. He had been nearly killed by a deranged assailant in 1958, and he explained why he was glad to have survived - and not just because he loved life.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;I wouldn't have been around here in 1960,&amp;quot; King recalled, &amp;quot;when students all over the South started sitting in at lunch counters.&amp;quot; What those students were doing, he said, was making America great again by setting out to challenge and change its injustices: &amp;quot;They were really standing up for the best in the American dream, and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy  the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Lincoln and King lived in difficult times, as we do. It is in just such eras that Americans have rediscovered and refashioned the best traditions bound up in our national experience.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Can we resolve in the years that follow the tumultuous election year of 2016 to listen to the better angels of our nature, and turn the dense concentration of American energy away from waste and pain - and use it instead to light  [http://www.vtr.org.vn/cam-nang-du-lich-bac-kinh-5-ngay-4-dem.html tour bắc kinh từ hà nội] our world?
