More From George McGovern

Your wits can't thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. you've no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!

All american wars (except the civil war) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the americans. in the history of armed combat such affairs as the mexican and spanish-american wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. in the two world wars, no american faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others.
