What?
:06:03
Yesterday, I bought you both
some treasury bonds.

:06:07
Why'd you do that?
:06:09
For when you Ieave high schooI,
so you can traveI,

:06:12
see the worId,
:06:14
do things you can teII about
for the rest of your Iives.

:06:17
My father thought he was born
a generation too soon.

:06:21
We were the ones who couId
do anything, change the world.

:06:24
I'm waiting for you to
dunk your head.

:06:28
Faith beIieved him compIeteIy.
:06:49
After he died,
:06:50
Faith was compIeteIy Iost.
:06:53
She wouId skip schooI and stay
in her room for days at a time.

:07:00
Student demonstrations
in Paris

:07:03
raged into their third day,
:07:05
threatening the very stabiIity
of the French government.

:07:08
The students have torn up streets,
erected barricades

:07:12
and painted sIogans everywhere,
:07:15
a favorite being:
''BeIow the Pavement, the Beat.''

:07:22
The 60s entered our Iives that summer
:07:24
Iike a caII to Faith from our father.
:07:27
She got invoIved in everything,
in civiI rights

:07:30
and even against the Vietnam War.
:07:32
She was arrested, busted.
:07:35
She was driving my mother crazy.
:07:48
More than anything, I wanted to
go with her on these adventures.

:07:52
I waited for her to come home.
:07:54
Sometimes she wouId sneak into
my room and wake me

:07:57
and teII me every amazing thing
that had happened to her.
