The kitchen reference is due to the fact that the videotaped debate took place in the model kitchen of a fully constructed American model home at the American National Exhibition in Moscow. As part of a handshake agreement, the debate was broadcast in both the United States and the Soviet Union (although the Soviet broadcast only partially translated Nixon's comments.) At the debate, Vice President Nixon strengthened his credentials as a Cold Warrior, immediately increasing his popularity in the U.S. This was an image which lingered in the American consciousness one year later as he entered the general election against Senator John F. Kennedy. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
