(47,868 posts)Unfortunately, now his memory is a bit faulty, so I'm not sure how much he would be able to recall. Also, in his senior years, he has become pretty right-wing, which really surprised me. We were quite liberal back then. I became more liberal over the years and he became more conservative.
Later we both supported McGovern and he followed the Watergate hearings on TV religiously. We both hated Nixon, but I wonder if the person he is today would have been supportive of Nixon. I'm not sure when the change happened. It was probably gradual over the years and when he retired to Tennessee, the transformation was undoubtedly completed.
I remember that one day he rode in the elevator with some of the defendants and one of them walked in on his hands! It was a fascinating time to be alive and especially in Chicago.
