Ok, so I need a little help from the community for a timeline. I'm planning on a timeline which deals with the events of the 60s, 70s, and 1980s, from the point of view of people who are being interviewed in the late 1980s in this world. Just normal people, like a veteran or two, a politician, a mom who went from the home life of the 50s to going out on her own during women's lib, etc.

Problem is I don't know exactly who I should have, whats kinds of characters, with what lifes, to be well rounded and cover all the viewpoints. This will essentially be the cast of characters for the timeline, who we'll interview quickly and then go into the events that happened from a more traditionally historical perspective.

The timeline is that JFK is assassinated, but his VP was George Smathers instead of Johnson, and that will be used as a macguffin to set into motion an increasingly more chaotic and dystopic 60s, 70s, and 80s. And I'll be covering historical events, political ones, movements, the way people view things and their opinions, culture and pop culture, and all that.

So any help on what kinds of characters/view points are necessary?
