A few years later i went through a similar process myself, working for victor novaski at the nation magazine in new york. Both of us became authors after immersing ourselves in journalism. Taylor and i also worked on the 1972 campaign for george mcgovern. He didnt know this but i was just a lowly canvasser, knocking on doors in california, nebraska and minnesota.
