Gene McCarthy Returns to Minnesota After Senate Term
Former senator Gene J. McCarthy, aged 55, expresses little regret about five months away from the Senate. He relaxed, spoke, wrote, and studied since leaving in 1970, hints at an undecided political future, and criticizes the handling of demonstrators during Washington protests while stressing reforms for a representative 1972 Democratic convention. He recalls parking privileges and a shaving mug survived the Capitol blast.
