WLS Channel 7 - AM Chicago - "Hoffman & Ski Show" (Part 2, 1978)

Here's Part 2 of an (incomplete) episode of AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7. Includes:

Sandi Freeman continuing her interview with Nicholas von Hoffman, author of the book Make Believe Presidents: Illusions of Power from McKinley to Carter. In this part, they start off by discussing President Carter's image maker Gerald Rafshoon, and the whole business of image making for presidents going back to "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," and then take phone calls from viewers on topics ranging from Wilson in 1916 vs. Barry Goldwater in 1964, to whether there would be a younger president, before Sandi signals another commercial break with a shot of crowds at the ski show where co-host Robb Weller is.
