     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?"
