URL: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_168827.html

Description:
This December 7, 2003, article describes how televised football changed forever in 1963 when the instant replay (also called video replay) was first used in the Army-Navy game. "The contest had been delayed a week -- and had taken on additional meaning -- because of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy 15 days earlier." Describes how the instant replay system worked and how it was later instituted in the NFL. From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
