Along highways from the Alleghenies to the Poconos, 1,200 bright orange Shapp billboards vie with the autumn foliage; 80 radio stations play his 30-and 60-second spots ("If you liked William Penn, you'll love Milton Shapp").

The Governor even took the Senator in tow and crashed the Democrats...
...life. Tobias (Hume Cronyn) looks like a pair of rumpled pajamas; Agnes (Jessica Tandy) has the cool, waxy elegance of an unlit candelabra. Their 36-year-old daughter has drifted away from four husbands. Agnes' unmarried sister Claire (Rosemary Murphy) drifts blissfully on a sea of alcohol.
