| Description: | Illinois Governor ADLAI STEVENSON stands at a podium, press conference. Low angle shot of newsreel cameras. Stevenson says, "No, I can only tell you that I'm a candidate for governor of Illinois, I have no other ambitions, and that I have said repeatedly for three months." The reporters crowded around him keep prodding him, talking over one another. When asked whether he would accept the Democratic nomination, Stevenson replies that he has no comment other than his usual answer to that question, which is, "No comment. Now would you let me get out please?" he laughs. (They really are tightly pressed around him.) | |
