It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.

I have a very deep concern about President Obama putting in another 21,000 troops into Afghanistan with the promise of more to come.

I was the guy who was constantly speaking out against the Vietnam War. I have no regrets about that.

If Reagan wins, I'd sell the farm and buy a bomb shelter.

I firmly believed throughout 1971 that the major hurdle to winning the presidency was winning the Democratic nomination. I believed that any reasonable Democrat would defeat President Nixon. I now think that no one could have defeated him in 1972.

We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost

I'm constantly meeting people who said that they cast their first vote for me, or that they cut their eye teeth on the 1972 campaign, or that they didn't vote for me but admire my positions.
