After the student protests, Nixon asked H. R. Haldeman to consider the Huston Plan, which would have used illegal procedures to gather information on the leaders of the anti-war movement. Only the resistance of J. Edgar Hoover stopped the plan.

this is why I put "shootings" in quotes - that's how the article titles itself, but here in Ohio, I've only ever heard this referred to as a massacre
Yeah I'll eat my hat on that comment. I always assumed the shootings had a greater impact on the populous then it seems to be. I guess that's the impression Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young gave me growing up.
