Do you recall Graham appeared at least once on a segment of the old Jack Benny Program?

No, I don't remember seeing it, but I did an "Ask Jeeves" search, and found the following:

203. Billy Graham Show (edit)

First aired: 9/24/1963

Writer:

Director:

Guest star: Billy Graham (Himself)

Season opener. Don, Jack and Dennis do the commercial as Peter, Paul and Mary. At Billy Graham's request, the skit is redone according to a new formula in which there are no insults to anyone, and everyone is quiet and sweet; Dennis reports that he went to UCLA over the summer. Billy Graham gives a short inspirational message.

The URL was so long, I couldn't copy and paste it, so had to copy the synopsis of the skit.

Here's a link to an old WND column with BG's quote about BC:

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=14443

The pertinent quote, "I forgive him . . . because I know the frailty of human nature, and especially a strong, vigorous young man like he is. "He has such a tremendous personality that I think the ladies just go wild over him."

Very disappointing, especially combined with BG's new quotes supporting Hillary.

Thanks so much for finding that information on Graham and Benny. Notice that the program ran two months before the JFK assassination, when the nation was all happily liberal and before the liberal crackup.
