With the publication of her sixth book, Life So Far: A Memoir (Simon & Schuster; 399 pages), Friedan gives us the fullest, most candid account of her experience in the vortex of that revolution, and the toll it took on her personal life. She writes with poignant honesty of her loneliness growing up Jewish in Peoria, Ill. ("Mostly, my mother made me feel bad about myself"); her fascination with communism after graduating from Smith College; and the strain of her 22-year marriage to Carl Friedan.

"Oh, Dad," McCain said wistfully, looking out the window of his bus last Friday, when asked what his father would have thought about this moment. "To be candid, he wouldn't understand. He was a military man from the time he was 16. The saddest day of his life was the day he left the Navy. So I'm sure he would be proud, but I think there would be some of it he would just not feel familiar with." Bush doesn't have that problem. His father knows...
