"crisis of democracy" question

[Max Sawicky]

Samuel Huntingdon made a name for himself by
raising the "governability of democracy,"
which if you think about it could be seen
as an oxymoron.

i need to nail down the origins of the phrase "crisis of 
democracy" for a piece i'm writing on the seattle events. i 
first read of it in conjunction with the '72 democratic 
presidential race; had it popped up as a quasi-official 
buzzword prior to that, to anyone's knowledge?

thanks.
