On this date in 1960: First televised U.S. presidential debate

The first in a series of historic televised debates (seen by some 85 to 120 million viewers) between U.S. presidential candidates John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon was broadcast this day in 1960.

I still remember it. As a senior in high school we were assigned to watch the debate.

Now that McLamo has been pressured to debate tonight, I can't wait for another historic debate!
