Yes, but I think, in fairness to the record, I ought to have a chance to look at some notes.

Sure. We'll come back to it.

It was a good idea, that got caught up in politics.

Okay. We'll go back to that.

It really got caught up in politics, because of the question, “Who is the spokesman for the party out of power?” The chairman of the Democratic National Committee, or his counterpart? Or, is the majority leader on the Hill? Or, is it a likely candidate for the office? I took the position that we, the news people, would pick the guy, and do it in consultation, but we had to have the final word about who was going to do it. The man who was then in charge of the Republican National Committee demanded equal time. I've forgotten now, that's why I want to look at the record.

We'll go back to that. I'd like to look at some things too.

So, in my life, there was all kinds of fun and excitement in my days at CBS. A lot of it in the office, and a lot of it in Washington, because I got to see political machinery pretty close up.

Could we talk a little bit about exit polling, and the impact that that's had? Polling after people come out of the polling booth.
