He's a tough guy who ran a tight ship, but he wasn't a Nazi dictator." The fictional Klein character, Bob Bailey (Barry Nelson), is mislabeled as the White House press secretary and quickly fired by Vaughn/Haldeman.

Oater, one of the men shouts in a state policeman's face, "Bailey! I know you! You're a damn disgrace to the Bailey family!" Somebody says of Basil Carr, "He had the nerve to run for sheriff."
