richard norton smith, first of all, stole my thunder about the 1956 convention and jack kennedy. but one of my favorite comments about stevenson was something that harrye spent more time thinking about what he was going to do rather than doing it. and he said that he spent a lot more time talking to college presidents than he did to cab drivers and we have one hell of a lot more cab drivers in this country than college presidents. anyway, 1956, richard norton smith made comment to adlai stevenson doing something unprecedented which is opening the convention to picking a vice presidential nominee. jack kennedy being one of them and estes kefauver being the other one. but very few people really know, unless they really study this, there were two other candidates. my question then is, seeing has how jack kennedy was out of it and estes kefauver became the nominee for vice president, would that ticket have been a little bit better had it have been al gore sr. or hubert humphrey versus estes kefauver and also -- well, i guess -- >> let's leave it there, curt. that's a lot of question and we're going to let newton minow, who is actively involved in the 1956
