Stormy past of the Windy City

Article Abstract:

The 1968 Democratic party convention in Chicago became the focus for riots which were quelled violently by the police. This led to the defeat of the Democratic presidential candidate, and thus to the election of Richard Nixon. The party believes that this disaster has now been forgotten, and feels confident enough to hold its 1996 convention in Chicago. Indeed, the party which was in such a perilous position when it came to Chicago in 1968 may now prove the party of victory.
