But not Ron Kovic, the Republican ' -- K - r- - Vietnam veteran who spoke at the 1976 Convention. Kovic believes this convention, to run Monday, Aug. 11, through Thursday, Aug. 14, will be a lively confrontation of opposing factions. In his role as convention reporter for Penthouse magazine, he anticipates numerous floor fights that will prove to politicans (and the audience) that the American people are not stupid, do care and know their rights. I think there will be a tense atmosphere, he says. I dont think Carter will get in on the first ballot. The Carter camp will be defensive, wary, insecure, and I think they will feel overly competent. But by the second day, that will be shattered. Carter promised no Americans would die in a for- eign conflict, and weve already lost Americans overseas. I think its too late for Carter. Senator (Edward) Kennedy will make a strong bid for the nomination. I predict Kennedy will come close to the nomination. Right now delegates are jumping for Kennedy. Also there will be veteran groups demonstrating outside against the draft. I dont know how many will be there. People will have a hard time trusting again. Kovic, who wrote the controversial Born On the Fourth of July, is bitter about what he views as the administrations disregard of veterans needs. Carter has done a great disservice to veterans, he says. Veterans hospitals are still in a poor New York Citys Madison Square Garden will host its fourth Democratic convention, Monday, Aug. 11, through Thursday, Aug. 14. The three major networks will provide live coverage of the lively floor fights anticipated between supporters of Jimmy Carter (left, below) and Edward Kennedy.

Over his all, he should veteran policy. Kovic fears the country is moving toward a strong militarism and chauvinism. We could easily have a nuclear confrontation, another Vietnam war. We must listen to the living reminders. If we dont, were committing a big mistake. When Im at the convention, reporters say to me, Kovic, where is your patriotism? Dont you care? But I feel veterans have sacrificed. We love this country. The people are so loving. We have to unleash the potential for good and cooperation.
