As the Goldfine story developed, Gart stayed on the trail, found enough leads to call for a task-force effort. Last week, while Correspondent Neil MacNeil covered the day-and-night Goldfine show in Washington, TIME deployed a reporting task force through New England. From New York to Boston went Fiscal Specialist George Bookman. Chicago's Jon Rinehart canvassed Maine, Chicago's Ed Reingold...

There is probably nothing more than gold in them thar hills, but to look at the screen, anybody might think there was neon. Still, the Sierra Nevada, in which much of the film was shot, is pretty hard to spoil.
