    Image Union, episode 0608

    Mayoral Commercials by Lynn Sweet. This tape collects many of the political ads from the 1983 race for mayor of Chicago. The ads are shown in approximately consecutive order. First there are the ads for the Democratic primary race between Jane Byrne, Richard M. Daley, and Harold Washington, followed by ads from the general election between Harold Washington and Bernard Epton. Many of the ads are smears, so it is interesting to see them in close succession responding to each other. Includes ad featuring Studs Terkel for Washington.

  • [Selects of presidential debate 10/11/(1992)]

    Two questions and partial responses from the presidential debate that took place on October 11, 1992. The tape begins at the end of Bush’s response to an unknown question. The floor is then turned over to Perot for his response to the same question. Apparently, the question asked had to do with political experience, or one or both of the other candidates questioned Perot’s experience in their response, because Perot responds with witty remarks about his experience: “Well, they’ve got a point. I don’t have any experience running up a 4 trillion dollar debt. I don’t have any experience in gridlock government where nobody takes responsibility for anything and everybody blames everybody else…I’ve got a lot of experience in not taking ten years to solve a ten minute problem…I’ve got a lot of experience in figuring out how to solve problems, making the solutions work, and then moving on to the next one.”
