The proposal that members report one what they did in the last month was without objection moved to the front of new business. Convention Committee: Ford reports: We have about 750…
Chapter Twenty Election Day. Browne Loses. Now the show reaches the end of the road. On November 7, 2000, the American people, or at least some of them, cast their votes.
