wow; 90. Good for him.

In late July, McGovern's daughter Teresa was arrested in Rapid City, South Dakota on marijuana possession charges. She had led a troubled life since her teenage years, developing problems with alcohol and depression. Based on a recently enacted strict state drugs law, Terry now faced a minimum five-year prison sentence if found guilty. Charges against her were subsequently dropped due to a technically invalid search warrant.

On the night of December 12–13, 1994, McGovern's daughter Teresa fell into a snowbank in Madison, Wisconsin while heavily intoxicated and died of hypothermia. Heavy press attention followed, and McGovern revealed his daughter had battled her alcoholism & drug abuse for years and had been in and out of many treatment programs.

As far as I remember, she never moved out; always living at home. The means Teresa was getting high & drunk - right there on the premesis.

Sadly, after her death, George (when asked about his daughters drug & alcohol dependence) said he never scolded her because he thought "it would just make things worse".

Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for President.
