Headlines from The New York Times: 20th Century Elections Knowledge Cards

Is it too soon to start pining for the relative decency of the past century’s electoral politics? This deck provides a partial Times headline on one side of each card. The blank is filled in on the other side, and a paragraph or two of text from the original article fills in the reader on context. From McKinley–Bryan (1900) to Bush II–Gore, 20th-Century Elections covers the high- and lowlights of forty-eight leap year episodes of mud wrestling. It’s an appealing brush-up for the casual student of U.S. history. Even better: deployed as a Q&A party game, it might get a gathering of neocons to shout happily for a change.
