How the JFK-Nixon debates in 1960—the first on live TV—set the stage for all to come

       
 

On September 26, 1960, for the first time in U.S. history, a
debate between major party presidential candidates was
broadcast on live television. The presidential hopefuls,
John F. Kennedy, a Democratic senator of Massachusetts,
and
Richard M. Nixon, the vice president of the United States,
met in a Chicago studio to discuss U.S. domestic matters.

Kennedy emerged the apparent winner from this first of
four televised debates.

THE WARREN COMMISSION HANDING OVER THEIR VOLUMINOUS REPORT ON THE ASSASSINATION
TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON (right).

On September 24, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson received
the Warren commission’s special report on the assassination of President John  F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November
22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Since the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed by a man
named
Jack Ruby almost immediately after murdering
Kennedy, Oswald’s motive for assassinating the president
remained unknown.

Seven days after the assassination, Johnson appointed the
President’s Commission on the Assassination of President
Kennedy to investigate Kennedy’s death.

The commission was led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and
became known as the
Warren Commission. It concluded that
Oswald had acted alone and that the Secret Service had made
poor preparations for JFK’s visit to Dallas and had failed to
sufficiently protect him.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)

An optimistic and upbeat President John F. Kennedy suggested
that the
Soviet Union and the United States cooperate on a
mission to mount an expedition to the moon. The proposal
caught both the Soviets and many Americans off guard.

In 1961, shortly after his election as president, John F. Kennedy announced that he was determined to win the “space race” with
the Soviets.
