Wow, that's depressing. Humphrey was a craven pig, but America still got the worst of a devil's bargain that night. I remember it all too well: I spent the night at Humphrey HQ in Los Angeles, reporting on events for my college radio station (primarily the Cranston for Senate bid), and when I went to bed the presidential race was still too close to call. Woke up to very bad news indeed, esp. as someone with a freshly minted draft card in his pocket...

During the interview with Herbert Klein, the onstage performer (Lionel Hampton?) is singing "That's Life." Frank Sinatra would wind up becoming a friend of the Nixon White House.
