What kind of person do we want in the

White House? How do Presidential

candidates get nominated? Does ad-

vertising really "sell" a Presidential

candidate? How can the process of

nomination and election to the Presi-

dency be made more representative

and responsible?

In Choosing the President, noted au-

thorities examine these questions and

others, analyzing through recent events

the changing rules of "eligibility," the

influence of mass media campaigns,

and the strategies of organizing a cam-

paign. In addition, the contributors

discuss the nominating procedure, the

effects of recent reforms, and possible

future reforms of candidacy, cam-

paigns, and election processes.

Separate chapters in Choosing the

President deal with the cultural and

sociological factors which influence

the public s choice of the President, as

well as the growing trend toward dis-

trust, fragmentation of p~rty loyalty,

and non-participation of well-informed

voters.
