VP Cheney and Maverick Miller Headline Tonight's RNC

Hosted by
Late yesterday, New York police got tough and arrested about 900 people in what protesters called "a day of direct action." Another action was directed at the Fox TV Network. Tonight, the Vice President and renegade Democratic Senator Zell Miller are expected to take off the gloves when they address the Republican National Convention. Miller is Georgians' Democratic Senator, who keynoted Bill Clinton's first convention here at Madison Square Garden. Is Cheney an asset or a liability? Why is Miller called "Zig Zag" Zell? From the Republican National Convention in New York City, Warren Olney joins political strategists and reporters, including a correspondent from Al Jazeera for an update on tonight's action. (An expanded version of this program was broadcast earlier today on To the Point.)
  • Reporter's Notebook: Schwarzenegger Wows Nation in His Wide-Screen Debut at RNC
    Last night was Act One on the national political stage for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he did say "girlie men" after all. Hollywood writer-producer Rob Long, who's also a contributing editor to the National Review and Newsweek International, was in the audience at Madison Square Garden. He was among the many who were delighted with the wide-screen debut of the actor-turned California Governor with national aspirations.
