Their whole life after that month has been one big anti-climax. Imagine their disappointment when they woke up on June 1 with a thirty-six year hangover. Hey, never mind, they should look on the bright side. They could have been Chinese and tortured, crippled or murdered during the "Cultural" "Revolution". Andy Warhol never made silk-screen prints of dead Tibetans either. And what did Fidel Castro do in 1968? IIRC He was the first non-Warsaw Pact leader to congratulate the USSR for crushing the Prague Spring. At least he was well rewarded for his pains. So a good time was had by all.
