But he said the city should still expect a large contingent of protesters -- to both G-8 and NATO policies."

Years ago, when I was at The London School of Economics, I I received a letter inviting me to Chicago for the 1968 Democratic convention.

No it wasn't from then Mayor Daley but from my Yippie friend Abbie Hoffman who predicted a hot time in the old town that was burned down by Mrs., O'Leary's famous cow.

To this day, I regret not going, but, back then, I asked Abbie to look after my London friend John Froines who planned to be in town that month.

Abbie did--and John, a scientist and fellow anti-Vietnam War protester quickly became one of the defendants in the Chicago Conspiracy Trial.

He never let me forget it.

I am hoping to be there this time because it promises to showcase the revival of the Occupy Movement that so many are hoping for.
