As admirable a person as George McGovern's is, he appeared not to be well acquainted with the current status of three issues that he spends the bulk of his time talking about.

The North Vietnamese victory in South Vietnam proved to be nearly as Stalinistic and hard on the South Vietnamese as the North Korean victory is on its people.

A vulnerable Iraqi democracy is emerging with some promise for the Middle East.

And unfunded public liabilities in the US are running near $1,000,000 for a typical US family, thanks partially to Social Security, and much moreso to its sister program, Medicare.

George indulges the classic romantic pattern of advocating benefits without consider the costs, or campaigning against dangerous work without considering the benefits.

I like George personally. Many romantics are pleasant people.

Audio was peaking out because the mic was too close to his face-the opening audio is ambient sound because we could not link into thier PA system-overall I think it came out ok-Q&A was rough because I was experimenting

It's Book Passage. Not Books! How is the technical quality--I heard we had some video and audio technical issues.
