Crime must be dealt with by a combination of prevention (addressing the root causes) and punishment (since most crimes are committed by a small percentage of criminals).
Well, not so much punishment than rehabilitation (punishment can be part of rehabilitation), but I agree.

Weathermen and Black Panthers begin to hold rallies across the country.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, since we're only in late April
Yeah, I wondered if that would be a little bit to far. I changed it to something more sensable.

What time period are we currently working on, as in, what months in 1972?
"Good Evening America.
Under the terms of Section 2, within the 25th Amendment, following the shocking assassination of President Richard Nixon nearly a month ago, it falls upon me to nominate a successor to fill the vacancy in the office of Vice President.
I will be nominating, incumbent Governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller. I have thought about this decision long and hard, coming to the conclusion that Rockefeller, is a the right person for the job, bringing along his executive expertise to the administration
I hope that both Houses of the Congress will agree with my choice and confirm it in a vote."
President Spiro Agnew, short message to the public on May 11, 1973.
OOC: I chose to have Rockefeller, being nominated for the VP due not only to his experience but also due to him originally being Agnew's mentor in the moderate wing of the Republican Party.
I couldn't imagine, Agnew, working well with one of the conservative members such as:
Barry Goldwater
Ronald Reagan
Jesse Helms
George H. W. Bush
Trent Lott
Donald Rumsfeld

Conversation between President Agnew, White House Chief of Staff Haldeman (May 2, 1972)
Haldeman: "Sir, something, um... something happened."
Agnew: "What?"
Haldeman: "Director... Director Hoover is dead."
Agnew: "Are you sure?"
Haldeman: "Yes, sir."
Agnew: "OK, we've got to move fast... Get Gray on the line, and tell him to find the [CENSORED] documents."
Haldeman: "Sir, something, um... something happened."
Agnew: "What?"
Haldeman: "Director... Director Hoover is dead."
Agnew: "Are you sure?"
Haldeman: "Yes, sir."
Agnew: "OK, we've got to move fast... Get Gray on the line, and tell him to find the [CENSORED] documents."
An anonymous source in an interview with Bob Woodward of the Washington Post (March 25, 1985)
Source: "You know about the files, um... the Personal and Confidential Files... well, as soon as the President found out Hoover died, he... he had Gray made Acting Director and told him to find them."
Woodward: "But, he... he didn't?"
Source: "We don't know what happened to them... we think his secretary, destroyed them... yeah, `cause he didn't trust anyone else with them, even in death... although, suppose no one would."
