This IS NOT a political discussion topic, I just thought this would be the best place to post this since this is related to the topic.

Anybody know where to get high quality videos of...
1. The debate where Nixon was having a lot of trouble, sweating and taking forever to say something.

2. The video(s) where Clinton denied having sexual relations with Monica Leweniskey (spelling?)?

I need high quality videos or at least something better than YouTube quality. This is for an English project on lying, and specifically a section on major lies by political leaders (we're targeting these two since everybody in our class is familiar with them).

Thanks in advance.

For the Nixon one, are you referring to the first televised presidential debate, between Nixon and JFK? If so, I'm not sure if that is a good example of "major lies", I assume he didn't lie any more at this debate than any other candidate at a debate. He was sweating and having trouble because he was ill/in pain.

"By the time of the first debate he was still twenty pounds underweight, his pallor still poor. He arrived at the debate in an ill-fitting shirt, and refused make-up to improve his color and lighten his perpetual "5:00 o'clock shadow." Kennedy, by contrast, had spent early September campaigning in California. He was tan and confident and well-rested."

Yeah, the Nixon vid isn't the way to go for this project. People who listened to the debate on the radio thought Nixon "won," while those who watched on TV deemed Kennedy the "victor." There wasn't any real lying going on.
 
I need the Nixon video for visual signs of lying, I was only saying the video where he lied because of what he did made it look like he was lying... not that he actually did. This project isn't about politics, as I originally said, so that's not the issue.
