McGovern had wrapped it up just before dawn on Friday, accepting the bloody nomination with an elegant, finely crafted speech that might have had quite an impact on the nation TV audience...(Time correspondent Hugh Sidey called it "perhaps as pure an expression as George McGovern has ever given of his particular moralistic sense of the nation")...but the main, middle-American bulk of the national TV audience tends to wither away around midnight, and anybody still glued to the tube at 3:30 A.M. Miami time is probably too stoned or twisted to recognize McGovern anyway. George Wallace claims to have turned over a new leaf on race relations but as president, continued to send covert arms to apartheid South Africa. Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right. I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles — a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other — that kept me going. A nervous blonde nymphet who thought that politics was some kind of game played by old people, like bridge.Kiang Liu: You may threaten a man all you want, but when he begins to eat grass and sees his children dying, he has not much to lose in act of rebellion.

It is Nixon himself who represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character that almost every country in the world has learned to fear and despise. Our Barbie-doll president, with his Barbie-doll wife and his boxful of Barbie-doll children is also America's answer to the monstrous Mr. Hyde. He speaks for the Werewolf in us; the bully, the predatory shyster who turns into something unspeakable, full of claws and bleeding string-warts on nights when the moon comes too close… Stand for Destiny, a film about the Mexican-American War that portrays the Mexicans welcoming American soldiers as liberators and claims that then-President James K. Polk was a "pro-freedom Republican in the tradition of Lincoln" (he was actually a Democrat, the Republican Party did not exist yet, and Lincoln was a Whig at the time and opposed the war), among many other inaccuracies. Most of the reporters did not get the word, but a lot of them figured on their own it was prudent to dine at the lodge on the last night, just in case he broke his two-day silence. So, with a few tourists thrown in, this group sat in the Dakota Room eating buffalo steaks and watching one another. Indian pictographs depiction "The Legend of the White Buffalo," surrounded them on the walls. The "Democrat Killer" claims that Abraham Lincoln was a Democratic mole in the Republican Party because he was responsible for the end of slavery in America, ignoring the fact that the Democrats of the time were largely pro-slavery. But considering who this is, that’s probably intentional. The American cut of The Coca-Cola Kid features the protagonist getting the local eccentric committed to a psychiatric institution and claiming his current assistant is a Communist spy.Though still officially part of the US, Libertarian Idaho, Wallace's Alabama, and Florida are all going askew of the federal government. But wow! This goofy child president we have on our hands now. He is demonstrably a fool and a failure, and this is only the summer of '03. By the summer of 2004, he might not even be living in the White House. Gone, gone, like the snows of yesteryear.
