McGovern Called Conventional Liberal in Senate Record
A NYT synopsis finds Senator George McGovern's 13 years on Capitol Hill mostly within Democratic liberalism on agriculture, cities, health, and poverty while showing independence on foreign policy and defense. It highlights his early Vietnam critique and long push to curb defense, his farm programs and hunger initiatives, and his consistent but evolving antiwar stance.
