Former President Richard Nixon, the late Robert Kennedy, John Wayne McCain and Robert F. Kennedy came to Hoe Auditorium Friday night in Dairo Proudly avoid recollections of the attacks.
In his homecoming lecture to more than 800 people, the British television journalist told interviews that both inspired and end of "interviews that make it worthwhile."
When interfeiring politicians, Frost said, the most difficult task was getting them to say something definite.
"It's like the blind leading the blind," he said. "You ask them what their favorite color is and they'll say plaid."
The more elusive interviewees was former Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith, who has "been known to invent facts on the spur of the moment," Frost said.
Frost has had lengthy discussions with another infamous politician, Richard Nixon, who was the subject of Frost's historic four-part series of interviews in 1977.
HE SAID NIXON was a “tierely private” man who sometimes did not realize exactly what he was saving.
Before an interview, Nixon once told Frost that he would not want to be a Soviet leader because they "never knew when they were being tapped."
"He didn't realize the dramatic irony of what he was saying," Freed said.
But his interview with another politician,
Sen. Robert Kennedy, was one of the more inspiring of his career.
In the last interview he gave before his assassination in 1966, Kennedy was asked by Frost how he would like to be remembered after his death.
"There was an awesome irony in that question." Frost said.
KENNEDY REFERRED to Albert Camus' statement that this is a world in which children suffer and he said he would remember for lessening this suffering.
"For if we do not do this, who will do this?" Kennedy asked.
When asked the same question, former Israeli defense minister Moshe Dayan told Frost, "That's what I'm dead for—not to care what people say of me."
Frost agreed with the Dayan philosophy and said people today cared too passionately what others will think of them."
He said many of the subjects he had intervened "lived up to their reputations, or they were accused of being murderers who was—as expected—" an extraordinary gift of a man," and Prince Charles, who is now the country's prime minister.
ANOTHER WAS IDI AMIN,posed Ugandan dictator, when Frorn spoke with a *t* time when he was already an ac- tory. "I want but not yet an accredited monster."
Frost said that although Amin was friendly and seemingly mild, it was easy to

see when he removed his "dashing" beret what a horror he could be.
This also was one of Frost's most chilling interviews, as was his talk with the leader of Hitler youth during the 1930s.
When asked whether there was something that future generations should remember about Hitler, the man said they should "be careful" "fully" way Hitler dealt with unemployment.
After his hour-long speech Frost agreed to an interview, fielding questions from the audience.
ASKED THEY THE UNION States could select the best leaders from its politicians, Frost said Americans must learn lessons from history and be vigilant.
"All politicians suffer from confusing the national interest with their own," he said. "That was Nixon's problem. He thought that a strong chardonnay at Chardonnay was good for the United States."
Frost told the audience that, historically speaking, the one person he would most like to interview would be Jesus Christ, an "obvious but honest choice."
He said he would ask Christ, "Did you really have to die to save us from our sins? Was that really necessary?"
Frost's remarks generated a standing
