This Presidential campaign has been as ugly and as bitter as any in

challenger—who in his mid-twenties was an exemplary combatant in both
the Vietnam War and the movement to end that war—as a coward and a
traitor. The bitterness has been felt mostly by the challenger’s
adherents; yet there has been more than enough to go around. This is one
campaign in which no one thinks of having the band strike up “Happy Days
Are Here Again.”
