While Kalb exemplifies the laid-back, more intellectual approach, the more provocative method can be found in David Frost's program "The Next President." Frost, who also interviewed a dozen would-be presidents in hour-long installments, made every effort to catch his guests off guard. Frost asked the Rev. Pat Robertson to explain what it was like to speak in tongues, and relentlessly questioned Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.) about contradictions in his views on abortion...
Kalb, who says he saw three of Frost's interviews, balks at the slightest comparison between the two shows. "I don't think there was anything similar at all except that they were both within an hour context and they were both on television," he says. "If [the three I saw] were representative of the other nine, they were soft, People magazine, substanceless fluff," says Kalb. Moreover, Kalb points out that despite Frost's higher budget and more explosive style, "Candidates '88" received more coverage in the media. Clearly, even an academic likes to keep track of his headlines...
Last night, RPI looked like it might escape with a win in the series' opening game, despite the hole it dug for itself early on.

...Dukakis after Iowa, New Hampshire fits Robert Frost's definition of home as "the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." The mood and tenor of his campaign changed as soon as he arrived, particularly in the Manchester neighborhood where his Greek-immigrant father Panos first settled in 1912. Dukakis appeared able to relax now that he no longer had to purport to be fascinated with Iowa farm problems or subdue his natural 78- r.p.m. speech rhythms. While he did not fully abandon his innate caution, he did seem more adept at sniping...
...glossolalia. Robertson, on the other hand, despite his prickliness about being called a television evangelist these days, has been captured on video showing all his Pentecostal fervor. The networks last week showed clips of him waving his arms as he spoke of curing hemorrhoids. In an interview with David Frost that aired this Sunday, Robertson defended the time he prayed on his television show to divert the course of Hurricane Gloria, adding of the storm's subsequent shift toward New York, "I think it was divine intervention." Bringing the Holy Ghost in on the cure for hemorrhoids seems...
