...postures and drawls through airy marvels of sinister affectation. He is the devil in drag. His counterpart Ann Timmons (Joanna Vogel) coldly pursues men. She snatches up innocent victims like Achilles, inflames them and casts them off. Ann is supposed to be bitchy, but Miss Vogel is too callous to make me believe she could arouse anyone's lust.

...intends to hit hard at Kennedy's lack of experience and the dynasty theme ("I'm not part of any dynasty. I don't have a brother in the White House"). Said he in his convention speech: "I am here because I am angered by the callous manner in which a single family has grasped for personal power; because I am amazed that their arrogance is so complete that-with open contempt for their own party in their own state-they forced the convention endorsement of the most remarkably unqualified candidate for the United States Senate ever...
