King George IV was King of England from 1820 until his death in 1830. He was not king for very long, but he did start a new fad in footwear. His boots were not like anyone else at that time. The difference in his boots were copied and it is commonplace today, but at the time was very unusual. What was it?

 

Since that time, things have changed.  On September 27th, 1960 John Kennedy and Richard Nixon took part in the very first televised debate.  This Thursday Senator John Kerry and President George W. Bush are going to begin their three night debate. 

 

Watch some of the debate and listen to what the candidates say about issues that may effect you or your family.  How do their positions on the issues effect how you feel about the candidates.
