Campaign contrasts in 1964 race keyed by personalities
The 1964 presidential campaign centered on personal portrayals of Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater. Each side framed the opponent as untrustworthy while stamping own programs on civil rights, crime, Vietnam, and nuclear strategy. Johnson promoted the Civil Rights Act and restrained federal overreach, while Goldwater opposed the act yet pledged strict law enforcement and readiness to confront communism, including a tougher line on Vietnam and Cuba.

Presidential candidates clash over Great Society and federal power
Johnson pushes for new government programs to fight poverty unemployment and raise health and education standards as part of the Great Society. Goldwater calls for major reductions in federal programs and spending with more local control and limited federal influence. Johnson backs federal hospital insurance for the aged while Goldwater opposes socialized medicine and favors tax credits for education. The two differ on aid to public schools federal education funding and tax cuts. Goldwater proposes a 25 percent cut in income tax over five years and vows to end the draft soon as Johnson supports continued drafts and studies for volunteer forces.

Senate subcommittee urges limits on TV violence
A Senate juvenile delinquency panel warned the television industry to curb violence and crime on programs or risk possible federal action. The interim report noted a proven link between televised crime and antisocial youth behavior, and said self regulation is preferable though patience is finite. The inquiry began in 1954 and found NAB codes violated with impunity, with no major improvement from 1961 to 1964.
