TODAY IN HISTORY

NOVEMBER 8


1960:Close. John F. Kennedy beats Richard M. Nixon by about 113,000 votes in the 20th century’s closest presidential popular vote. Nixon doesn’t concede until the next morning.

2000: Really close. Al Gore calls George W. Bush to concede the presidential election, only to call back shortly after to say he changed his mind. Meanwhile, Florida begins a recount. The outcome is uncertain until Gore concedes on Dec. 13.
