Kennedy / Nixon debates - help!
I would like to get the Kennedy/Nixon debates on DVD or VHS to watch. Does anybody know where one can buy such a thing?

I tried searching google and found nothing. On ebay I only see the first debate on DVD. I found an abc news vhs of the "debates" but it is only 60mins long. What the hell?? Shouldn't these debates be a common thing that would be easy to purchase???

3. Looks like only the first debate is available, but I'm still looking, too
JFK Library is a good source: http://www.jfklibrary.org/debates-1960.html (links to the video for the 1st debate, audio for all of them, and video excerpts from all of them)

If you're in LA, there's a Museum of Television & Radio there http://www.mtr.org/ which I thought was supposed to have everything ever televised, but the site isn't searchable and googling the name along with Kennedy Nixon debate isn't turning up anything. Go figure.

I guess I'll go down to the museum and see if they are there to watch. I don't suppose they would put them on to dvd/video for me for a fee?

Actually I just found all four at the Museum of Broadcast Communications (http://www.museum.tv) - which is in Chicago. And you can watch them online!! Still would like to have it on dvd/vhs. I guess I can make my own out of them (need a dvd burner/better comp), but I'd prefer to have them from a better source than these digital windows media files.
