Remembering Carl Oglesby

SDS Carl Oglesby was one of the most articulate members of the New Left in the 1960's. Despite a wife, home, children, a car and a nice job, when the Vietnam War escalated he became president of the Students for a Democratic Society on the basis of his writings and speeches. At the end of the decades, the anti-war movement became more violent and revolutionary and he was ostracized by the group who took over, the Weathermen. In an unusual turn, near the end of his life Carl Oglesby became reacquainted with the America he had forsaken decades before.
