A Moment of Honesty

August 17, 1968
by Janine Stephenson

While I was taking dictation, Ron stopped and smiled at me. He said that he should've thought about making me his assistant a long time ago.

But I told him I was glad that he didn't because he can be annoying sometimes. He laughed and said that his Mom thought so too.

I told him that he really ought to fix that.

About Project 1968

  • Started in January 2008, Project 1968 is a blog docu-novel about the lives of two young women on their way to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

    It is a way to look at the day-to-day happenings from 40 years earlier. It was created solely by independent writer and researcher, Laura Axelrod.

    Janine Stephenson, an 18-year old freshman from the University of Wisconsin, took the semester off to campaign for Senator Eugene McCarthy. She is accompanied by her best friend, Becca.

    Amy, a 23-year old anti-war protester, works at a well-known peace group in Chicago.
