Beenubject matter has agreed will be restricted to internal or domestic american matters. Now for the first Opening Statement by senator john f. Kennedy. In the election of 1860, Abraham Lincoln said the question was if this nation would exist. Nation would this exist half free. In 19 six the, the question is if this nation will exist half slave, half free. I think it will depend in great measure on what we do here in the United States, on the kind of society that we build, on the kind of strength that we maintain. We discussed tonight domestic issues, but i would not want that to be any implication to be given that this does not involve directly our struggle with mr. Khrushchev for survival. Mr. Khrushchev is done new york, and he maintains a communist offensive throughout the world because of the productive power of the soviet union itself.

Guest no, it is a myth but it is longstanding. It is partially true. The moderator was sitting behind the candidates, so he really could not see how they were looking on camera, he was just listening to what they were saying. He said after that, he thought that nixon had won and when he watched the rerun of the debate, he actually thought kennedy had won. The reason that popped up with there had been a survey done by marketing firms of people who had listened on radio. They had said they thought nixon had won it. You canthe viewers, watch and listen and then vice versa. If nothing else, just the difference in the voices, the difference in the accents. Most people think kennedy emerged the winner.
