	Feel free to play my other ones. Don't let the mediocre rating of the last one through you off; all is fixed.

	Nixon was Eisenhower's loyal running-mate in 1952 and 1956, but not a presidential candidate himself — not even in primary races.

	Nixon didn't really run against Ike, and the Kennedy election wasn't in the 50s. You need to reword the Salinger question to make it clear you are asking for the book title and not something else, maybe say "this controversial novel" not "his controversial novel".

	Scrapped the Nixon question. I thought the Salinger one was pretty straightforward (he wrote one famous novel in the 1950s) but I changed it.

	Good work, pretty good overview of the decade.

	Good questions, but they really need to be asked in a more straightforward manner. Half of them are "This ..." while the other half are just statements.
