The 1st presidential news conference filmed for TV was in 1955. Eisenhower was the president.
The politician was sitting at his campaign headquarters when the phone rang.
He listened intently, and after a moment his face brightened.
When he hung up, he immediately phoned his mother to tell her the good news.
"Ma," he shouted, "the results are in. I won the election!"
"Honestly?" asked the mother.
The politician's smiled faded. "Ma, why bring that up at a time like this?"
