Notes

Notes
The UCLA Archive holds master preservation material only, no viewing copy (2008).
History
The same evening the Nixon/Kennedy debate was transmitted from 9:30 to 10:30pm. It is likely that at 9:30 most of the audience deserted Shakespeare in favour of watching this historic confrontation.
