For fifty years we've accepted Theodore White's premise (from \u003ci\u003eThe Making of the President, 1960\u003c\/i\u003e) that Kennedy ran a brilliant campaign while Nixon committed blunder after blunder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut White the journalist was a Kennedy partisan and helped establish the myth of Camelot. Now, five decades later, Edmund Kallina offers a fresh overview of the election's most critical and controversial events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased upon research conducted at four presidential libraries--those of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon--Kallina is able to make observations and share insights unavailable in the immediate aftermath of one of the closest races in American presidential history.
