Dramatic theater of a 1968 political convention told
The writer describes the 1968 Republican National Convention as a mix of charac ters and delegates, noting Romney as a fading favorite son and speculation about last minute upsets akin to Willkie in 1940. The piece contrasts grand drama with ordinary delegates and the Cain and Abel moment upon returning to the room.
