George McGovern has passed away at the age of ninety. One of my earliest political memories is of one of my older brothers wearing a McGovern-Shriver shirt. I learned about McGovern, initially, through the jaded and drug-addled writing of Hunter S. Thompson who was a great admirer. Nothing like a good first impression.
Maybe some of the members here who were older than three in 1972 can chime in and provide Sen. McGovern with a good eulogy.
