B - Which famous American writer wrote "Miami and the Siege of Chicago", about the Dem and Rep conventions of 1968?

I'm trying to win Doc the bet. I'll guess Shel Silverstein.

No clue on the first one.
Shirley Chisholm - I'm old enough to remember this. First convention I ever watched was the 1960 Democratic convention - I was 15 and mesmerized. This year's was about as close to that one.

Mailer.
Not the Gonzo guy, not yet. Norman had only pretensions to gonzo.
Shirley Chisholm.
With Sprots added vote, I calculate a win of 0.31415926 points for the G side.
Thanks to the great state of Colorado...

LOL!
It's been fun!
I had one of the worst seats in the house last night, and I still had a great time.

Congratulations to the G team!
Kudos to our B team, too! We put up a valiant effort, but lost in a photo finish.

That's better than getting lost in a photo booth.

Yep, I really was.
I talked to one guy a while back who was too young to be present at Thomson's Shot Heard Round the World, but he still insisted he was. I think he had managed to conflate Gibson with Thomson. If everybody who said they were there in 1951 really were there, the stadium couldn't have held them all.
