After watching Rounds 1 and 2 of the Kennedy-Nixon debates, I have come to this conclusion: the best thing to do would be to elect both Nixon and Kennedy as co-Presidents. It would be terrible to lose the talent and ability of one of these individuals upon his defeat...
...Cuba question, Nixon called Kennedy's assertion that the U.S. ought to encourage an anti-Castro revolt "probably the most dangerously irresponsible [statement] that he's made in the course of this campaign," and one that might lose the U.S. its friends in the U.N. and Latin America, perhaps lead to civil war and an "open invitation to Mr. Khrushchev."

But win, lose or draw in 1960, the thick cluster of sophomores and juniors on the 1960 squad marked the birth of a new football dynasty, a team almost certain to contend for national honors for years to come. Ben Schwartzwalder, a man with a system, is the father of that dynasty...
