The Council on Aging is pleased to welcome back Gary Hylander, PhD for another one of his fabulous programs.
November 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy-Nixon election. It was a cliffhanger that witnessed a record voter turnout. Both Kennedy and Nixon campaigned energetically across the country. Kennedy called for a New Frontier while Nixon spoke of his Vice-Presidential experience and the need to maintain the policies and continuity of the Eisenhower years. For the fi rst time, television played a critical role in shaping a presidential election.
Gary L. Hylander earned his PhD at Boston College. He is currently an independent scholar who specializes as a Presidential Historian, pedagogical specialist for the National Endowment for the Humanities and visiting professor at area colleges.
