...there were at least seven sloppily sentimental ones, and the surfeit went so far that Monocle magazine's Victor Navasky struck home with his satirical suggestion for a brand-new title: "Taxi to Greatness, the story of the cab driver who drove young John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier to the movies on their first date...
...hyaline membrane disease that kills at least 25,000 infants every year (among them: Patrick Bouvier Kennedy) and the heart attacks that are fatal to 500,000 adult Americans seem poles apart as subjects for medical research.

Unfortunately, the roles of the young fop and the widow's stepson are somewhat overinflated by David Bouvier and Joseph O'Sullivan. And Betsy White, as the widow, proposes sin to Platonov like a lenient mother trying to sell her children on brushing after every meal...
