A Chicago History that Rhymes
Wild rumors circulated about planned disruptions to the convention: radicals were going to add LSD to the city water supply, people impersonating chefs would drug delegates' food, fake taxis would take delegates to Wisconsin, and Hubert Humphrey's pants would be pulled down while he was speaking at the convention podium. When Johnson announced that the plan for a summit with the Soviets was canceled, an aide said, \"The saddest person in a sad room was Vice President Humphrey.\" Editor's Note: The Democratic Convention, which is scheduled for next week in Chicago, will feature discussions on the economy, a controversial war, violent protestors, Russia's invasion of another country, a president who decided not to run for re-election and his vice president who is running.

The Post-Presidency from Washington to Clinton
[...]the recent opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Center on April 25, 2013, on the campus of Southern Methodist University reminds us that we choose instead to commemorate former presidents, not execute them. In more recent times, due to longer lifespans and the ability of recent presidents to have a bona fide second career after leaving the White House, we permit their influence for a much longer period of time, even decades.

Reagan's area whistlestop 40 years ago
Reagan flew into Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton at 11 a.m., where the presidential traveling party was met by first-term Republican Congressman Michael DeWine before continuing to Old Montgomery County Courthouse Mall for the first rally. The stops in Sidney, Lima, Ottawa, and Deshler followed a similar script - a boisterous marching band, the playing of Hail to the Chief, and a simplified version of Reagan's stump speech in which he argued that his rival, former Vice President Walter Mondale, was too liberal for America while also calling for Mondale to release his health records in response to news that he was on medication for high blood pressure and had an enlarged prostate. According to his official schedule, Reagan arrived in Perrysburg at 7:40 p.m. It was a great day, Reagan wrote in his diary, and a long one too.
