Side note: I am re-reading "Prisoners of Silence" by Jonathan Kozol. There is a review by George McGovern which makes me sad for what should have been:
"Prisoners of Silence is a blueprint for action. Capitalizing on the untapped idealism of our youth, channeling their enthusiasm toward salvaging the wasted potential of the illiterate...where the teacher can learn as much from the student, as the student can learn from the teacher".

I think he would have been a wonderful President.
