Law & Order

William Goodwin: I remember the National Guard killing four college students whose only crime was protesting the illegal invasion of Cambodia! He was referring to the events of May 4, 1970, when four unarmed student protesters were shot by National Guardsmen on the campus of Kent State University. This inspired the Neil Young song Ohio.

Jack McCoy: I'm sure you've listened to all the Doors albums, Claire, but you still have no idea what it was like back then. The Doors, led by Jim "The Lizard King" Morrison, were known for their counter-cultural music. Songs like Light My Fire were endlessly played on college campuses. Their song Unknown Soldier dealt with war and some people also believe that the song Five to One is about Vietnam.

This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the cases of Sara Jane Olson/Kathleen Soliah and Katherine Ann Power as well as the Weathermen underground anti-war movement.

Jack McCoy: From the Chicago Seven to the Westchester One. The Chicago Seven were protesters arrested during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago Illinois. The Convention is remembered for being the site of massive demonstrations and riots.

Mike Logan: That beats Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley for the odd couple award. Michael Jackson's marriage to Elvis's daughter was unexpected to say the least. Many people considered it to be a publicity stunt. The marriage lasted 19 months.
