Scheer quickly accepted his resignation...
...those who followed the Democratic Convention in Chicago saw him and heard him. Gilligan informally chaired the Convention group that drafted the "peace plank," and he led the dove coalition on the convention floor. His job was to mediate between the Kennedy and McCarthy partisans--Sorenson, Goodwin, O'Donnell, and others...
