Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Step right up and prove that you are better than Google! 
Your mission, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to find an audio recording of Governor Adlai Stevenson's 1952 Democratic nomination acceptance speech. (Oh! No! - Does this go in the political lounge? I said "Democratic!")
It would be very helpful for a school report, and I can't find it anywhere. I've looked on Archive.org, Google, Wikipedia - it's nowhere to be found.
Prove yourself a better Internet sleuth than I! This is a once - in - a - lifetime chance!
(Well, at least I hope I made you laugh for your trouble.  )

Okay?

Dude. You have 18 computers. Sell some and hire someone to scour the internet.

Transcript here. They have audio of other speeches, but not this one - so it may not be on the 'net.
