What past? Her sixties youth? Young Americans chanted slogans against Lyndon Johnson, not in praise of him. His party sent tens of thousands of draftees off to their deaths in Vietnam. Senator Edward Kennedy proposed the outlawing of LSD despite the testimony of Dr Timothy Leary (who advocated its regulated use by medical professionals) to his congressional committee in 1966. Mayor Daley’s police thugs put the jackboot into the protesters outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention held in Chicago. Did Camille somehow miss all that at the time? Even the acid, amnesty and abortion candidate of 1972 – George McGovern – had voted in favour of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and for a mid decade wiretapping bill that increased police powers.
