10. One more memory was triggered by reading and writing this:

Eagleton was an alum of my college (Amherst), and he came back the next Spring to give a talk. He was treated to a reception befitting a returning hero, though I (and others) were not quite ready to forgive him for his deception. I still think McGovern would have made a much bigger splash if his campaign didn't have to restart with Shriver as VP; it would've amounted to more than just "Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts".

It was a different era then....
