Telegraph of Nashua

The paper received some attention during the 1980 presidential primary[?], when it hosted a debate[?], paid for by Ronald Reagan. During a debate over which candidates[?] should be allowed to participate, editor Jon Breen[?], acting as moderator, told the soundman[?] to turn off Reagan's microphone. Reagan's response, "I paid for this microphone, Mr. Green!" entered the political lexicon[?] and, some say, launched his successful run for office. The fact that Reagan got the editor's name wrong is often forgotten.
