and attacking the graduation speaker, Senator Brooke IS a protest - and well documented. I am about 4 years younger - and it was unusual NOT to have protested on campus against the war.

I am not suggesting that as proof, just arguing that based on the time and what we do know, it is more likely than not that she did protest. (That said - it was clearly less significant to her biography than Bernie spending a year working with CORE, protesting to desegregate Chicago schools and getting arrested ... or war hero Kerry returning to the US and leading protests to end the war, culminating in an eloquent speech before the SFRC that was showed in its entirety on all three network news shows. )
