The largest mass audience in the history of man — an estimated 120 millions — will observe the 1956 U.S. Presidential conventions in August 1956, a sobering thought for U.S. politics. The television viewer will see much more of the convention than any delegate, learn much more of what's going on elsewhere in the convention city, be guided through these complexities by some of the world's most experienced news commentators. Sponsors for this super-spectacular confluence of man and electronic machinery will pay fifteen million dollars for the three-network coverage.
