Jack Lessenberry interviews Tom Hayden who

was a suburban kid from Royal Oak who became the man who the New York Times called "the single greatest figure of the 60s student movement." Today, Hayden lives in Los Angeles, where he writes, teaches, and fights for a variety of causes.

He continues:

Now, there is a new war. Hayden might well say, I've done my part. He has things to do, books to write, and a six-year-old son. But instead, he's in there, pushing the stone, patiently trying again to save us from our own folly.

I think you have to admire that.
