Travis goes back to the 1961 dance where he met his now-departed sweetheart, but he also has
memories of aliens who quietly took over the world.
A decade of peace and quiet and short hair was winding down; a time when people knew
their place and stayed in it. For ten years nobody had wanted anything but a new car and
a bigger TV set. Now all that was about to change. In a little over a year the Cuban
missile crisis would send thousands of people into their back yards to dig bomb shelters,
and “advisors” would start pouring into Southeast Asia. In another year the president
would be dead.
