I was eleven years old in November 1960 when my father and I watched Richard Nixon concede the presidential election to John F. Kennedy. My father, a former FBI agent, shook his head. “Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered.
“Then why doesn’t Nixon do something about it?” I asked indignantly.
“Because it would tear the country apart, and no one wants that.”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t work that way,” he replied. “Nixon is being a gentleman.”
Of course, it wasn’t just my dad who felt that way. I heard his sentiment echoed many times after that election by teachers, news commentators, and my friends’ parents. The election might have been stolen, sure, but these things happen. Move on.
