Democratic unity fuels triple threat at Atlanta convention
The Democratic gathering in Atlanta showcased a Dukakis Bentsen ticket with Jesse Jackson included, signaling party unity as they aim to defeat Bush in November. Highlights included Ann Richards as keynote, Jim Wright chairing, Hightower at the podium, and partisan jabs at Bush. Fire safety concerns at Omni Coliseum disrupted Jackson's crowd, while Iowa figures and a local Linn County meeting and fundraising events closed the week.
