Students for a Democratic Society was founded in 1961.

Imperialism or globalization - I don't have to care what it's called to hate it.

I went underground. So I didn't see [my father] for 11 years. So that was pretty traumatic time for my parents for sure.

I knew Barack Obama, absolutely. And I knew him probably as well as thousands of other Chicagoans.

I taught. I lectured at universities. I spoke to my students. I spoke in certain public forums. But what I didn't do was respond to microphones being thrust in my face and saying, what is your relationship with Obama and are you an unrepentant terrorist?

My father lived with me the last five years of his life and passed away of Alzheimer's, and at that point he was saying to anyone who would listen, "We all hated the war in Vietnam." Well, it was easy to hate the war in Vietnam 40 years on.
