Open Convention and Cow Palace Jests at San Francisco Rally
In a playful look at political terms, a San Francisco reader notes witty misreads of conventions and terms.

Martin Jr. and likens the convention hall to rodeo and ice skating venues, with Eisenhower’s speech spot tied to Sonja Henie’s ice skating past.
