So excited to finally have a copy of CHICAGO’68! Last week I had a chance to lay it all out and run one last round of usability checks before we go to print. Pleased as punch with the results:

Happy Dick Cheney is Dead Day. He tried to get Kamala over the line. She thanked him by name during the debate. But it just wasn’t enough. “What do we believe?” A whole class of people laughing hysterically and slamming the door in everyone’s faces.

“Jimi would play Risk on acid, and I never—and me personally—ever beat him at all. He was unbelievable at it. He was a military man, you know, he’s a paratrooper, and I don’t know whether you know that about Jimi, but no one ever beat him at Risk.” -Graham Nash
