I assume most people here have heard of “For all time”, a dystopic scenario with a POD in 1941 – the death of FDR. Then, everything that can go wrong for human civilization goes wrong.

I’m aiming for a counterpart of FaT, with a POD in 1968 to make things more difficult. It’s not supposed to be a utopia, but more of a contrast, meaning a good string of presidents etc. So what 1968 POD would be required to these events?

Here are a few PODs that could certainly make things interesting in the ATL:

* Martin Luther King Jr., survives his assassination attempt. If anything, his proposed speech at the Chicago Democratic Party Convention could have prevented the riots....

* The Beatles decide to stay together after discussing their political and philosophical differences in Liverpool, England....

* Robert F. Kennedy survives his assassination attempt in Los Angeles, California. This is another assassination that severely influenced the nature of 1968...

*President Lyndon Johnson condemns the Soviet plans for invasion of Czechoslovakia, preventing the end of the "Prague Summer"...
