I read that one of your childhood heroes was Eugene Debs, the five-time 
Socialist Party candidate for president in the early twentieth century. 

Yeah, baby! Actually, more Norman Thomas. Six-time Socialist candidate for 
president, after Debs, and a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union. 

Are there still characters like that around? 

Ralph Nader is a character like that. Back in those days, a guy like Norman 
Thomas was viewed as a corroding member of society. But if you look at almost 
every aspect of the New Deal, that’s where it came from. It just had to come 
through a process of mainstreaming before it could be accepted.
