April 4, 1968: The presidential helicopter left Sheep Meadow in Central Park after a sudden surprise visit to attend the ceremonies installing Archbishop Terence J.

Kennedy was making closing arguments before overflow crowds in the New York area on the weekend before Election Day, despite heavy rains. “I don’t know any place in the United States where Democrats would turn out on a rainy Saturday afternoon like this,” he said in Wantaugh, N.Y. “I understand the sun is shining on Mr. Nixon in California.
