Narrative:

Inbound push for ord. All traffic from west rted over bdf. Flow control nonexistent. Supervisor was constantly and loudly intervening in traffic situation. WX had closed off the bdf 1 arrival route. 1 aircraft was not given holding instructions. This was missed by handoff, radar and manual controller. Aircraft entered adjacent sector west/O pointout. The handoff controller had cancelled the data block. The radar failed to notice it. Corrective action should require the handoff not to cancel data block until holding instructions are given!
