...cheap plastic chess set at the local candy store. She was eleven at the time and Bobby was six, and together they worked out the moves. Bobby took to the game instantly, trouncing his sister so handily that he soon began playing both ends of the board himself. His alter ego never had a chance. "I tried to be fair and play the best moves for both sides," he says, "but I usually...

There may not be any decisive sentiment to fundamentally alter the U.S. economic and political system. The disgust with Viet Nam may not extend to the broader isolationist mood that McGovern's defense policies and even his acceptance theme, "Come home, America," suggest.

McGovern understood the significance of the attack. He repeatedly and specifically explained himself. In doing so, he did not alter the substance of his previous stands, although he may have shifted his emphasis to placate more conservative Democrats. Previously McGovern had said that "abortion is a private matter which should be decided by a pregnant woman and her own doctor. Once the decision is made, I do not feel that the law should stand in the way of its implementation."
