        Kennedy, not as well known as Nixon at the time, came across as personable, quick and intelligent. Nixon looked nervous, furtive and sweaty.

        I was a kid. I will never forget it, nor will I ever forget how it felt to live in America during his presidency.

        I stood right where they are standing in the old CBS studio in Chicago as a college kid. Had goosebumps. #history

        Kennedy was made up, Nixon looked like he forgot to shave. The radio audience thought Nixon had won.

        I was 18 mos old, LOL. But read all about it in @HardballChris's excellent book re: Kennedy. Fascinating how well Jack manipulated Dick.
