This article focuses on the U.S. Presidential television campaign — the debate of the presidential candidates, which was presented as a public service by the American Broadcasting Co. Even the veteran moderator, Quincy Howe, failed to contribute anything but a tremulous nervousness to the mild ascepticism of the hour. If the order from headquarters was to avoid providing the Republicans with any ammunition by public disagreement, an explanation frequently voiced hereabouts, surely more imaginative advantage could have been taken of the time. The participants were stiff and formal.
