59 分钟“Nixon now! Nixon now! More than ever we need Nixon now!” It's the 5th of November 1968, and Richard M. Nixon is on tenterhooks, alone in his dark hotel room. He watches as the final states are called in the presidential election. Will he fall at the same hurdle as he did in 1960? Off the back of losing to JFK eight years prior, Nixon is running as the Republican presidential candidate. This time not only does he face Democrat Hubert Humphrey, but the independent segregationist candidate George Wallace threatens to split Nixon’s votes. A west coast outsider who embraces modern media, Nixon aims to capture the hearts of Middle America. But will he succeed this time around? Join Dominic and Tom for the final instalment of our series on America in 1968, as they dive into the political campaign that would go on to become the prototype for all future campaigns, as traditionally blue states turn red… _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.

Now, Dominic, if you look at most successful businesses, you will notice one thing they all have in common.
They all took a lot of hard work.
Would you say that's true of us?
Would you say that's true of the Rest is History?
I think that is true, actually, Tom.
I think we both do work quite hard on it, don't we?
We spend a lot of time preparing the episodes.
It's not quite the effortless superiority that everybody imagines, but I have to say it does help to have a good team.
It's a challenge, isn't it, that all companies face hiring.
So this can be a daunting task, especially when you need to find someone right away and you have too many or too little options to choose from.
That's right.
