From the Wall Street Journal, 15 Oct: (w/o permission):
"After watching Bush-Ferraro, it occurred to us that these televised
debates could be the greatest viewer sport since Roller Derby. Let's make it
a weekly show. Cuomo-Falwell. O'Neill-Gingrich. Steinem-Schlafly. After
each question, a panel of judges could hold up cards-9.0, 9.5, 6.5, 9.0.
Howard Cosell is the obvious play-by-play man, with color by former, now
retired debaters-Jerry Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole. Everyone could start
appearing in Miller Lite commercials for old politicians. 'Less spending!'
'Higher taxes!'
"How about it, Roone?"
