Sen. John F. Kennedy, left, and Vice President Richard M. Nixon are shown following the first of four nationally televised presidential debates, in Chicago, Ill., Sept. 26, 1960. This was the first public debate during the general election for president in American history. More than 60 million television viewers tuned in to each debate, yet there would not be another series of presidential debates until 1975.
