After the conquest, European visions prevailed, and America was the loser.

...power to the region. Thus, the D.N.C. is already preparing for the July convention and the fall campaign on the premise he will be the candidate. Democratic Chairman Robert Strauss officially must remain neutral, but he also expects to avoid a deadlock or a bloodbath at Madison Square Garden.
