Well of course you have all kinds of potential fallout
from the conspiracy theorists' mother lode: the JFK
assassination. Also, you're fast approaching the
touchstone for all covert-government-gone-amok nonsense,
Watergate. Lots of potential scenarios in the mix
there. Also I believe the Quebec separatists were
just getting organized at this time. (Don't berate
me too much if I'm wrong on that one.)
If it's a more military slant that you want, well outside
of Indochina there's the '67 mideast war and I believe
there was still a good deal of mercenary work going on
in Africa at that point. (reference: Warren Zevon's
"Roland the Thompson Gunner" song).
I would imagine the book "The Dogs of War" could be
interesting to you, as well as Ian Fleming's *books*,
which are quite different from the utterly over-the-top
James Bond movies.
'course, I was five years old at the time, so don't
take my word for any of this.
