Kerry was an extremely poised young man, and O'Neill appears to have been the token conservative patsy.

What show are you watching? Kerry is an effete poseur who spent 4 months in Vietnam

I don't like Kerry at all, but that doesn't mean he doesn't come off as the better debater in this interview. For starters, he never lost his cool. O'Neill seemed to be somewhat disconcerted--as would most people with an audience so predisposed to support his opponent. What is really striking to me is the favoritism displayed by Cavett.

That's my $.02. Keep in mind that I was only 9 at the time.

Bingo! Try to catch him going to commercial when he thinks the camera is off, if there is another shot like that.
