Bob Rudner, a Green from Illinois, tells the story of being a 16-year-old and going out with his dad to see a sci-fi movie. On the way out, they encountered the 1968 Chicago Police Riot and the Yippies. Then, Rob Rudner watched the 1968 Democratic Convention on t.v. This time, Bob Rudner is inside the Chicago Presidential Convention. He is with the Green Party. [Which goes to a theme presented by the Green Party this year: “This time, the peace movement is inside the convention.”]
