Description

After the four TV debates between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960, there was talk of a fifth.  That talk didn't result in another TV debate, but did provide one more campaign issue for a very tight election, and developed a new thing - TV debate negotiations.   We look at 1960, the fifth debate talk, and other reasons besides the debates that affected the 1960 election results.
