The civil rights movement, the Kennedys, McCarthy?each of these sufficed for a time, until submerged by death or defeat. But Viet Nam continued, Chicago receded. Nixon won.

"Slide rule in hand, he must avoid all thought of county lines, local traditions, politics, history and economics, so as to achieve the magic formula: one man, one vote."
