48 years ago today...

Sept. 26, 1960, Senator John Kennedy debated Vice-President Richard Nixon in the first televised presidential debate.

Nixon, it was widely reported, looked ghost-like.

That's better than his reincarnation, who's only a ghost.

Or the predecessor of this incarnation, who's a ghoul.

1. OMG... I can't believe it's 48 years. I remember watching it .

I was just a kid sittin on my parent's sofa. Not a clue that I was watching history.

2. An interesting footnote to the 1960 debate, it marks the begining of Image Media power

In review later, those that listened to the debate on the radio felt Nixon had won and those that watched it on television felt Kennedy won.

The very first division in time by Image.
