June 6, 1975

At the home of Herbert and Judy Dawkins, residents of Sioux City, Iowa. Herbert is an auto dealer. Judy is an elementary school teacher. Herb and Judy have one son, David, and a daughter, Clara.

It's 6 pm on a Thursday evening.

A knock sounds at the front door.

Herb opens the door to greet a youthful looking man accompanied by one other youthful looking man. The first man flashes a bright smile at Herb, extends his hand, and introduces himself:

"I'm Reuben Askew, and I'm running for President."
