DURING THE Wisconsin primary last March, I drove out to Milwaukee along with two other CRIMSON reporters to cover Senator McCarthy's campaign. It was during that strange time after New Hampshire when Kennedy had just come in and Johnson wasn't yet out, and the bitter clarity of our own relationship to the nation at war was melting like the dirty snow beside the highway...
