...candidate of either party to refuse to take part in Marvin Kalb's excellent series of nationally televised interviews, "Candidates '88". Kalb, director of the Kennedy School's Center for Press, Politics and Public Policy, is an incisive questioner whose televised exchanges with Michael Dukakis, born-again candidate Gary Hart and Paul Simon are among the most substantial of the campaign. Kalb certainly would have questioned the vice president about evidence--including a recently surfaced memo signed by former National Security Council chief John Poindexter--that suggests Bush's support for the plan to trade arms for hostages held...

To judge by polls, people believe that the sex scandal should have been reported but that the media overplayed it. Fewer editors today would probably defend, as many at the outset did, the Miami Herald's stakeout of Hart's private residence. Though the public hankers to know the facts and the gossip too, it has made clear its concern for individual privacy...
...They could be called the Teflon Twins of post-Reagan politics, unabashed and unapologetic about intemperate statements, personality flaws and boastful exaggerations on their resumes. Robertson and Jackson remain carefree riders on the political roller coaster, rarely having to worry about the bumps and twists that have buffeted Gary Hart, Joseph Biden and Michael Dukakis.
