Midnight fireworks had been planned at the home of Nationalist Party (NP) president Bianca Dalal. The NP had done remarkably well in elections in four states. It was the party’s heroic return. It was an even larger triumph for the Dalal family, who had survived several calls for their ouster from party leadership. The fireworks started at 11:59 and four bottles of champagne were uncorked, as the ‘Nationalists’ and few staff members watched the night sky from the garden below. BOOM. Huge explosions razed most of 10, Lokpath, the entire Dalal lineage reduced to body parts and blood ...

Congressional scholars Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein identify two overriding problems that have led Congress—and the United States—to the brink of institutional collapse. But they offer a panoply of useful ideas and reforms, endorsing some solutions, like greater public participation and institutional restructuring, while debunking others, like independent or third-party candidates. Above all, they call on the media as well as the public to focus on the true causes of dysfunction rather than just throwing the bums out every election cycle.

1960s riots seem increasingly relevant to today's political climate. To determine the political impact of violence in the 1960s seems increasingly relevant to today's circumstances. Imagine what the 1968 presidential election would have been like if there had not been well over 140 violent protesters immediately preceding Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.
