I also love this part from the section that you posted.

But you could see her thoughtfully moving away from the ways and strictures and politics with which she’d been raised. By the time she started focussing on Eugene McCarthy and viewing the world through progressive and race-conscious and peace-conscious lenses, it was the result of a process. I always thought of her as somebody who is real, for that reason. She didn’t just jump into something without thinking it through.”
