I would love to have been at that Democratic Convention in Chicago in '68, but I was only 7 yrs old. All hell broke loose, with women and minorities vocally expressing their dissent at being under-represented because of the "good ole boy" delegate selection process. That, along with the refroms resulting from McGovern Commission report brought about the era of primary elections starting in '72.

Not to mention the mayhem on the streets of Chicago with the anti-war protests.
