[0:00] Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro, Sunday
[0:02] at 6:00 on Town Hall.
[0:10] >> On World News Tonight this Wednesday,
[0:12] the quarterback changes position. Jack
[0:14] Kemp reverses himself on some very
[0:16] important issues. The television image
[0:19] and reality, the Christian Coalition on
[0:21] the subject of abortion.
[0:23] >> There can be no doubt the Republican
[0:26] Party is a pro-life party.
[0:29] >> And the gambling lobbyists with
[0:31] unlimited access, our campaign money
[0:34] watch.
[0:37] >> From ABC, this is World News Tonight
[0:40] with Peter Jennings, reporting from the
[0:42] Republican National Convention in San
[0:44] Diego.
[0:46] >> Good evening. Here in San Diego tonight,
[0:47] the Republicans will formally nominate
[0:49] Bob Dole to carry their battle flag into
[0:52] the fall campaign. It is a time-honored
[0:54] tradition at any political convention,
[0:57] even though like everything else at this
[0:58] one, there will be no surprise and no
[1:00] particular suspense. The news here today
[1:03] was once again being made by Jack Kemp,
[1:05] who's going to run as Mr. Dole's number
[1:06] two. The two men, who are quite
[1:08] different in some ways, are trying to
[1:10] get their act together, and in the
[1:12] process, the independent Mr. Kemp is
[1:15] changing his mind about some things. And
[1:18] so we start with ABC's Jackie Judd.
[1:24] >> The quarterback became the acrobat
[1:26] today. Kemp was flip-flopping on
[1:28] long-held positions to get in line with
[1:31] Bob Dole.
[1:32] >> He's going to speak for our ticket.
[1:35] I have been given an open door.
[1:37] >> On affirmative action, last week's Jack
[1:40] Kemp believed that race was a legitimate
[1:42] factor in hiring and college admissions.
[1:45] This week
