Kent State University May 4, 1970. The Ohio National Guard opened fire on a crowd gathered to protest the Vietnam War. Four students were killed and 9 wounded. Still a horrible event 48 years later.

I wonder why this one didn’t take off? Maybe “let’s be a year” exhaustion, or maybe 1970 is awkward as not quite “70s” yet but also too late for 60s.

Pardon, R38, I haven't seen the Aristocats since its original release. Disney released it on a double bill with a reissue of Lady and the Tramp and it still cost a quarter at the local theater in 1970. Here's the 1970 one that I like better anyway.

Paul Sills' Story Theater on Broadway 1970 - 1971. It included actors that were soon to be famous on television, Paul Sand, Valerie Harper, Richard Shaal, Peter Bonerz, Melinda Dillon, Hamilton Camp, Rihcard Libertini and Linda Lavin. It was a semi-musical and had adapted fairy tales from Aesop's Fables and Brother's Grimm. I went there as a class trip to a matinee when I was in 4th grade. It was my first Broadway show.
