DEC 9, 202467 MIN

Description

A transition between Presidents of opposite parties. Nothing starts a good presidential transition like charges of treason, and thus it was in 1968 that a tense election ending started a transition between Presidents of two parties. Yet all things considering, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson's transition is considered one of the better ones. We also look at contemporary news stories, and stories of other presidential transitions. Some mysteries examined, and some LBJ-Nixon phone calls analyzed. Lee Rosevere - music
