A summary report on The Vietnam Experience and America Today Symposium, a 10-day conference held at Macalester College. The symposium was one of the first national postwar forums to examine the effects of Vietnam.
The plight of the Vietnamese refugee, like that of the Vietnam veteran, are the two most visible reminders of a war most Americans would prefer to forget. The conference considered how the war changed America's values, communication, lifestyles, political institutions, economy, and foreign policy.
