Muskie Rises as Democratic VP Candidate Despite Past Doubts
CHICAGO AP The man Lyndon Johnson once tried to block from power, Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, has emerged as the Democratic nominee for vice president. Once sidelined by Johnson, Muskie grew into a Senate leader, guiding administration bills on air and water pollution and steering the Model Cities program. He won the party’s support, becoming a capable foil and trusted adviser acclaimed by colleagues for liberal instincts and pragmatic skill. Muskie, 54, a Polish American, Maine governor in 1954, Navy veteran, Bates College graduate, is married with five children and regarded as a precise, steady vote-getter in tough domestic matters.

Emotional Kennedy tribute marks 1968 Democratic convention
At the Chicago convention the Kennedy family honor dominated the night with a 20 minute film tribute to Sen Robert F Kennedy and a tearful chorus of celebrants. Edward Kennedy introduced the film by videotape from Hyannisport mass and urged unity over violence. The moment contrasted with earlier protests for Mayor Daley as delegates sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic and signs remembering Bobby Kennedy appeared in the gallery. Police scrutiny and ongoing tensions persisted until Ralph Metcalf of Chicago spoke a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Edward Kennedy planned to remain with family in Massachusetts rather than address the convention.
