Early 1968 thru January 1973. From the Tet Offensive and President Johnson announcing he wouldn’t run again in early 1968 until January 1973, when American delegates signed an agreement around a really big table in Paris to stop fighting in Vietnam.
Eventually in 1975, all of Vietnam would fall to the Communists.

Clueless & Faithless…& Murphy’s Law. As a faithless 14 year-old. As a faithless teenager. And as a faithless young adult. A particular train wreck in my life that I’m referring to, the kind that would have helped Harrison Ford get a head start on eluding Tommy Lee Jones.
Much of it a self-inflicted kind of Murphy’s Law…but Murphy’s Law nonetheless. Definitely a connection between the two movies other than John Williams getting Oscar recognition in early 1990. Definitely a connection. No doubt about it.
