Mr. McGovern, the last insurgent Democrat to run for president on an antiwar platform, sees parallels between the 1972 race and the current campaign. And in the candidacy of Howard Dean, he hears echoes of his own.

More than three decades ago, the presidential candidacies of two Democratic senators — Mr. McGovern, from South Dakota, and Eugene J. McCarthy, from Minnesota — transformed their party, making it more liberal and inviting accusations that it was antimilitary and too dovish in foreign policy.

Humphrey.
