JOHN F. KENNEDY & RICHARD M. NIXON 1960 DEBATES

Description: KENNEDY-NIXON DEBATES Item Description THE KENNEDY-NIXON DEBATES IN .MP3 FORMAT IT WAS HISTORY IN THE MAKING IN 1960! All four of the historic debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon, including transcripts for all four debates! For the first time, the nominees of the two major parties met to debate during a general election. Congress suspended the equal time provision of the Federal Communications Act of 1934, and both Vice President Richard Nixon (R) and Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass.) believed they had something to gain by debating. There were a total of four debates, which still stands as the record number for a general election, and the major theme was the threat of global communism. There were no Vice Presidential debates in 1960. What everyone remembers is the first debate, where the telegenic Kennedy won the image battle over Nixon who, recovering from the flu, appeared pale and refused make-up. This collection features the 4 Kennedy-Nixon Debates in the .mp3 format. The CD is labeled and provided in a highly protective jewel case. A list of the programs on the disc as well as the date the program originally aired (if known) is also provided.
