...Best Documentary. Things were getting so radical that even a dyed-in-the-wool, if not so endowed in the head, liberal like Warren Beatty (McGovern benefits in '72, and all that) sauntered on and suggested that to add some political balance he should put in a good word "for Goldwater and Reagan...
