He was also asked whether he had thrown any objects, "including human feces," at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Brown was at the suit-and-tie end of the antiwar movement and was inside the convention handling Senator Eugene McCarthy's delegates, nowhere near the Yippies. But the question is a classic of negative politics: I know you didn't do it, but I can't wait to hear your denial...

During the Gulf War, Denver, like the rest of the U.S., appeared to be 80% in favor. Not surreal Boulder: there, hundreds of antiwar protesters blocked traffic in the city center day after...
