In downtown Manhattan in the shadow of the half-built Twin Towers hardhats beat scores of
hippies bloody in May 1970 four days after Kent State. This is the story of when the old
Democratic Party attacked the new and of how Richard Nixon seized the breach realizing that
these quite candidly are our people now. We relive the schism that tore liberalism apart by
returning to when it was all laid bare one brutal day when the Democrats' future was
bludgeoned by its past as if it was a violent last gasp to say we once mattered to them too.
