Bill,

Ya know, George McGovern really was a decent guy.
I wonder what would have happened had he won in
1972. I still remember what he said once when I
saw him speak at this University. He said that he
had been a bomber pilot of a B-17 in the 8th air
wing over Germany. Of course, that was such a
violent air war that about 1/3 of all Americans
assigned died in combat. He said that even though
he had flown 25 missions over Germany and that it
was frightening, he was never so afraid as when he
spoke out against the Viet Nam war on the floor of
the United States Senate. He had lots of courage
to take a position like that. Quite a leader. I
don't think Bubba could hold a candle to McGovern.
