...frenzy of applause that followed pleased Hart. He was picking up his campaign right where he had left off -- with attacks on the news media. "The Democratic Party has found its Spiro Agnew," wrote the conservative columnist George Will last week, recalling the press bashing by the bilious Vice President. This time what failed for Hart in the spring may be his biggest political asset. "He is using journalistic jujitsu," said Mark Green, a former speechwriter and aide.

The circular interior courtyard, with sensuous marble nymphs basking in the glow of golden travertine and sandstone walls, is assaulted by vulgar pink and blue pipes that serve as handrails for a spiraling ramp...
...Robert Prosky), a salesman on a long losing streak, who can beam like a bishop at good news and just as quickly turn to wheedling for his job. Running herd on these macho individualists is the consummate organization man, Williamson (J.T. Walsh). What is this, an MTM sitcom gone bilious?
