Senator Quayle is just one of many so-called war wimps or chicken hawks: prominent, youngish Reagan-era conservatives who, one way or another, ducked the war in Viet Nam.

Tomlin plays the Roses, but Midler is a fistful of Daisys: Miller, Buchanan and Mae. She is more than High Concept. As a movie star, even in this efficient little comedy, Bette is heaven in high heels...
