It was supposed to help enforce the rules: three-minute answers followed by two-minute rebuttals. But the first debate of the three held that year was memorable for words that *weren’t* said. More than an hour into the debate, a technical problem caused the sound in the venue to go out. For 27 minutes, Ford and Carter stood  silently—and  awkwardly—in place while America watched and waited. Although they both later said they wished they had found a way to break the tension, Ford and Carter each acknowledged the respect they had for their opponent, a respect that grew into friendship later in their lives.
