Scoop Jackson, how I admired him in my early years.
He was one of the last of the great old-style dems, wasn't he?
Those days are sadly gone.
Scoop was a fine man- the good old-time democrats were people you might disagree with on some points, but you wouldn't mind having them as friends or neighbors. Most of the newer ones I would not trust with my wife, my wallet, or my dog.
