...choice of Mondale means a turn to the left or is simply a sop to liberals." Added Tom Hayden, a leader of the antiwar demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago: "Carter represents the flip side of Democratic division. Once there was the war.

Peter Seller's performance as the continually proverb-coining Sidney Wang is decidedly bland, however, which comes as a surprise and disappointment, since his impersonations are often so uproariously funny, and the Oriental bit has, in the past, been one of his finest. Seller's acting may not be up to par, but more likely the material, not Seller's abilities, is to blame...
