The New American President Is

Three hours after the last polling booths closed on the West Coast of America, the full story of how the United States made its choice. Has Richard Nixon won his second term in the White House?
Robert MacNeil, who has spent the last year in America following the election campaigns, will present the programme from the New York NBC election studio: reporting the latest news, showing the dramatic scenes across America as the voting pattern developed through the night, watching how the presidential candidates themselves received the news, and asking political experts for the first analysis of what the result means to America and to the world.
