John F. Kennedy

Third Kennedy-Nixon Debate

von

John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon meet in the third of their 1960 presidential debates. The broadcast captures the candidates addressing one another and the public during a closely watched contest for the presidency.

Listeners hear a political debate rather than a scripted radio drama: the focus is on the candidates’ spoken arguments, responses, and presentation. The exchange offers a direct encounter with the campaign’s public rhetoric and the contrasting ways the two candidates make their cases.
