Mr. Kean--who would be the keynote speaker at the Republican convention the
following month--had indeed shaken up his party with his landslide re-election three
years earlier, in which he had won 60 per cent of the black vote and two-thirds of the
union vote. Was the secret of his success a laudable "politics of inclusion"? Or was it--
as some Republicans protesting his choice as keynote speaker argued--that he was a
Democrat in Republican's clothing? Or was it simply his personal attractiveness, which
comes through clearly on this show? A low-key but interesting discussion of a
moderate's views: "I found a simple fact, and that is that crime is much greater in the
black community than anywhere else in the state, so if you stress law and order, blacks
are just as concerned about that if not more concerned than anybody else."
