Editorial Endorsement: Kennedy Over Nixon for President
The Independent Press Telegram urges voters to choose Sen. John F. Kennedy over Vice President Richard M. Nixon in 1960. It cites Kennedy’s grasp of world affairs, leadership, imagination, and willingness to propose new ideas, contrasting Nixon’s record, doubts about campaign finances, and a belief that U S prestige has not been at an all time high. The piece argues domestic issues matter but ignore external threats at peril.
