The Best Men Never To Be President
Adlai Stevenson on the cover of Life.
History is full of intriguing “what-if” questions. And nowhere does this game of historical speculation offer more possibilities for debate than Presidential elections. In every spirited contest for the highest office, almost half the country is convinced the wrong man was elected. Many never change their minds!
Were they right?
In this unique multimedia presentation we will explore the men and the campaigns that nearly won the White House. And we will engage in a bit probing into alternative history. What if Nixon was President during the Cuban Missile Crisis? What if Gore was President on 9-11. I will offer my list of the best candidates not to win – and then open the floor to the inevitable debate.
