“The McGovern War Years: Reporting by Daryl ‘Bud’ Lembke, 1972–1973” unearths an unpublished piece written by a reporter who researched then-South Dakota senator George McGovern’s World War II career during his 1972 presidential run. Laurie Langland, who serves as the archivist for Dakota Wesleyan University (DWU), provides an introduction to a manuscript that Los Angeles Times reporter Daryl Lembke submitted to the Atlantic Monthly about his experience reporting on McGovern’s service record. Lembke donated the manuscript and his related correspondence to the DWU archives in 2012.
