This is a work of Alternate History by writer 037771 of AlternateHistory.com, author of We'll Meet Again. The historical point of divergence is the premature death of Republican Party powerbroker Leonard W. Hall in 1959. This event allows Nelson Rockefeller to compete with Vice President Richard Nixon to be the Republican Party's 1960 nominee. Rockefeller ultimately loses, but he does manage to land the VP slot under Tricky Dick. This combined ticket manages to squeak out a victory against Kennedy/Johnson, setting the stage for what will become known in this timeline as the "Shrieking Sixties."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Despite this description, the timeline is not solely American-centric in focus, but rather a look at the entire world. The ripples from Nixon's victory causes major changes everywhere from Brazil to Japan to the Soviet Union and beyond...Read it here.

comment
CIA Evil, FBI Good : Averted, somewhat. The abuses perpetrated during J. Edgar Hoover's tenure are a pivotal plot point. The CIA meanwhile kick off a bloody leadership transition in Indonesia, are trying to manipulate politics in Japan, and tries to become the power behind the throne in the Congo.

Hellhole Prison: Martin Luther King spends time in one for a few months, doing hard labor. It greatly weakens him, and he ends up dying in 1962.

"L" Is for "Dyslexia": Famously dyslexic in real life, Nelson Rockefeller fluffs the announcement of his presidential run in 1960. “I, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, hereby announce myself as a candidature for President of the United States."
