Late last year, while making plans to cover the 1996 Presidential campaign, ABC News producers discussed how to get more depth into the usual polling and interviewing of ordinary Americans on the hot topics of the political season. But there turned out to be no primary season to speak of, as Bob Dole quickly became the Republican candidate opposing President Clinton. "We decided we didn't need primaries, didn't need candidates or a campaign to explore in some depth how American voters, and nonvoters, were feeling about this country," said Kathy Christensen, the executive producer of "World News Tonight."

The next time politicians indulge in the no-risk pastime of charging television with turning public issues into sound bites, they might take a moment to reflect on the effects of instant images, especially when used by themselves.
