President Johnson did not attend his party’s convention, guided by security, pride, and political calculation. Sources note White House aides advised avoiding a tense event in Chicago. Humphrey praised Johnson’s legacy, and Johnson’s absence marks a rare deviation since FDR in 1944. The piece ends oddly with a note about Neptune’s two moons.

Emotional Tribute to Kennedy at 1968 Democratic Convention
At the Chicago convention the final session opened with a 20 minute film tribute to Sen Robert F Kennedy followed by 19 minutes of singing as delegates struggled to maintain order. Edward Kennedy introduced the tribute via videotape from Hyannisport Mass and urged love over hate as the nation reflected on his brother's life. The night featured other demonstrations including pro Daley signs and a later tribute to Martin Luther King Jr before the session quieted. Edward Kennedy stayed at Cape Cod after taping and did not address the convention in person.
