...being seated and to set the stage for dramatic floor fights this week. His challenges to the Washington, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Texas, Michigan and Indiana units were rejected. Though the Mississippi delegation was left unseated on the ground of racial bias and replaced by a half-white, half-black group, the decision hardly amounted to a McCarthy victory. Humphrey also supported the insurgents...
Following its tough line all the way, the city prohibited the Coalition for an Open Convention, the relatively tame stop-Humphrey group, from holding a rally at Soldier Field. It also refused to give the yippies permission to camp in Lincoln Park, and told demonstrators that they could march nowhere near the amphitheatre itself.

Rich enough to begin with (a construction magnate worth at least $150 million), the hero is a willing and corrupt tool of Conglomerate, a group of large corporations that plan to exploit national lands for their own interest. He expects to become Conglomerate's chairman, and is obviously a bigger rascal than most Congressmen. But the plot is familiar, and the novel admittedly originated as an agent's suggestion designed to capitalize...
